The Chairman and CEO of Air Peace, Dr. Allen Onyema, has urged tour operators to promote Nigerian destinations to attract international visitors, noting this will not only bring in the needed foreign exchange but it will also showcase Nigeria before the world.
Onyema who made the call at the 5th Annual General Meeting of Nigeria Association of Tour Operators (NATOP) in Lagos at the weekend, said that Nigeria has too many tourist attractions which potential have not been developed due to the fact that adequate attention has not been paid to them.
“Nigeria should be intentional in promoting its tourist attractions to the world. In the North we have Durbar festival, which is growing in popularity. It should be promoted. When they do carnival in the Caribbean, all of us will be running to go to the Caribbean for carnival. Calabar Carnival and Durbar festival are so beautiful to watch.
