The season will integrate culture, tourism, entertainment, hospitality, transportation, commerce, and the creative economy across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, with the goal of moving beyond isolated events to building a sustainable tourism economy.
MyCityApp CEO Ifeoma Mbonu announced that her platform would host the National Digital Events and Experiences Calendar.
“Every visitor who attends an event contributes to airlines, hotels, transport, restaurants, and local businesses,” she said.
“By connecting to these experiences, we can attract more visitors, support businesses, create jobs and strengthen Nigeria’s tourism economy.”
Other speakers at the event included NIHOTOUR Director-General Dr. Aare Abisoye Fagade, NTDA Director-General Dr. Olayiwola Awakan, Providus Bank’s Silely Lothan, and MTN Operations General Manager David Ogunsola.
The September 14 stakeholders conference will bring together government agencies, state tourism authorities, financial institutions, airlines, hospitality leaders, event producers, creatives, technology companies, and media to finalise the national calendar and operational framework.
