Arts, culture, travel & tourism can sustain Nigeria’s economy — NANTA vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
In the event that oil dries up in Nigeria, what happens? If Otunba SegunRunsewe, D-G of National Council for Arts and Culture, were to answer the question, he will tell you that culture is Nigeria’s new oil.
They all agreed, as many informed professionals inside and outside the travel and tourism industry do, that as many countries that do not even have half of what Nigeria has thrive on travel and tourism, Nigeria’s economy has the capacity to be sustained by the travel and tourism industry. “Immediately we saw that, we had a meeting with Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority . They too have seen it. So we are trying to close the gap to ensure that more attention is given to the local law to quickly protect it, which is in the NCAA Act. It recognizes NANTA as the umbrella body of all travel agencies in Nigeria.
And of course, issues relating to enactment and implementation of appropriate policies are expected to be on the front burner during the 43rdAGM of NANTA scheduled to hold on 27 March 2019 at the MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos with the theme, “Developing Strategic Policies for the Sustainability & Growth of the Travel and Tourism Industry”.
Mrs. Akporiaye also disclosed that Arik Airline, as partner, is always there for NANTA, and they are in the forefront supporting this AGM as they have been doing. She said Ethiopian Airline too, which NANTA had wanted to give an honorarium representation at the AGM because of what happened to them said no, that they still want to be part of the event fully in partnering with us and sponsoring the event. The GDS, South African Airline, UBA, Leadway Insurance and other companies are also involved.
