Nigeria’s tourism sector has huge potentials if tapped into.The duo of Patoranking and Flavour urged the Federal Government to grow the sector so as to generate more money
According to Flavour :”If you look around most African countries, they have started working on their hospitality business for revenue generation. I think it is time for us to take a cue from that. Those countries can hardly organise a show without inviting Nigerian artistes – comedians and musicians – and the reception is always great. Before other African nations beat us to it, I think it’s time we beef up our tourism and entertainment industry ”
For Patoranking, there has to be an -up-to-date-directory of hotels and lodges in the country in the interest of tourists.
“The security situation in the country is not as bad as portrayed, but a lot still needs to be done to create a better platform for our God-given resources that visitors need to see,” he said.
The tourism sector was reported to have generated over $1.1 billion in 2015 from over 6 million visitors, and $853 million from 4.8 million visitors in 2014.
