The National President of FTAN, Mr Nkereuwem Onung disclosed that Governor Eno’s promise shows his openness to tourism promotion and development.
Onung said the Governor promising to be part of the AGM is a sign of better things to come, adding that the Governor’s move is a sign of readiness to not only give tourism a place in the scheme of things but also rally and form an alliance with the organised private sector to boost tourism promotion.
The FTAN President assured that this year’s AGM is going to be an interesting one because the well-crafted theme; ‘Tourism: Today and Tomorrow – Setting Agenda,’ for the new administration is timely and prompt to meet the trend of things in the country, as Nigeria is experiencing a new face of leadership trend.
“Also, to make the event grander, people engaging and a touch of sincerity of purpose, we added a subtheme; ‘Community Involvement in Tourism Development: Building Partnerships for Sustainable Tourism’, to create a B2B collaboration afterwards.”
