Culture is the characteristics and knowledge of a group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts etc. There are different types of culture, but culture is generally divided into two types: material culture and non-material culture. Cultural tourism is the visits by persons from outside the host community motivated wholly or in part by interest in the historical, artistic, and scientific or lifestyle heritage offerings of a community, region, group or institution. Cultural tourism destination takes strategic planning built on an understanding that there are different degrees of consumer motivation for culture and that most people are looking for a variety of things to do when they travel. Curiosity and education are the main drive of cultural tourists; they want to learn about other culture people and their culture. The Limbe festival of arts and culture started in 2014 and now it is in its fifth edition. The Government Delegate to the Limbe City Council Mr Motanga Andrew Monjimbo on his part said the festival is being packaged to leave the guests itchy and longing to be back to Limbe for the November games of 2016 – Female African Cup of Nations and 2019 - Men African Cup of Nations that shall be partly hosted in Limbe - Cameroon.
