Nigeria yet to tap its tourism potential fully

Published on : Tuesday, February 5, 2019

 

Last year, Santorini undertook aggressive marketing in spite of good yearly increase in tourists and revenue generated.

 

Although the Calabar Carnival, Osun-Osogbo Arugba festival and other events like the Argungun fish festival have become huge tourist attractions over the years, even 20% of Nigeria’s potential as a potential tourist attraction remained unharnessed.

 

Banky W, whose real name is Olubankole Wellington and a candidate for Modern Democratic Party (MDP) replied that, “Speaking of tourism, I have already worked with the governments of Dubai and South Africa to attract FDI (Foreign Direct Investment).”

 

He added, “I can work with these governments to attract investment.”
