The spread of HIV/AIDs within the Hotel Accommodation Industry: Evidence from Nigeria
Abstract
The continuous spread of HIV/AIDs within the hotel industries calls for urgent attention of researchers. The management of hotel industry in Nigeria do not pay adequate attention to the spread of HIV/AIDs within the hotel premises through exchange of contaminated sharp objects among guests/tourist, illicit sexual intercourse with staff of the hotel and re-use of contaminable sharp objects. The study was conducted in Lagos. The population for this study consisted of 592 guests of Eko Hotel and Suites and Lagos Airport Hotel. A sample size of 239 guests was determined using Taro Yamani Formula. An exploratory research design was employed, and data were solicited using structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. This study revealed that there is high possibility of the spread of HIV/AIDs within the Hotel Industries in Nigeria; and the management of Hotels do not put adequate measures in place to prevent the spread of the virus. This study recommended that the management of Hotels should put adequate measures (pharmaceutical/non- pharmaceutical) in place to coup the continuous spread of the virus. This study concluded that in order to meet the objective of putting an end to the spread of HIV/AIDs in the world, attention should be focused on the hotel industry.
