Mr. ZebraTiki really is only tiki by proxy, and I am a double offender, as I drag him to all sorts of equestrian events, the poor guy. Much like dealing with animals that have a "what's in it for me?" mindset, I present all the facts that make it appealing to him, i.e. "I'll spend more money if you're not there to talk me out of my frenzy," or describe massive dining and snacking opportunities, or mention that there will be great musicians there.
Sometimes the best tactic is that there are other significant others there that are in the same boat, so to speak.

I find that some people just haven't had a wonderfully flooded with tiki experience of the decor, sublime drinks, and the right music, but once they have a really positive experience, they come around... well sort of.
