This year’s edition of the National Tourism Transportation (NTT) Summit & Expo, the 7th in the series, will prioritise implementation of vital communiques from the previous six editions of the summit.
Speaking during a media briefing to announce the event, the National President of Institute for Tourism Professionals of Nigeria (ITPN) and Chairman of Inter-Ministerial Committee for NTTS 2024, Chief Abiodun Odusanwo, explained that the implementation of these communiques is expected to form a roadmap for industry players.
About 1500 business leaders and players in the industry would attend the event with the theme: “Tourism, Transportation Connectivity: Accelerating the Synergy for National Economic Development.”
The event was billed to run on December 3 and 4 in Abuja.
Odusanwo added that with the implementation, the summit aims to effectively equip industry operators with the leeway to play their respective roles in the most appropriate ways that guarantee the best economic benefits and further ensure growth and development for the country.
The annual NTT Summit and Expo which began in 2018 following the federal government’s desire to deepen synergy and interconnectivity between tourism and transportation sectors of the economy has grown to become one of the most anticipated events on the business calendar of the country.
Chief Odusanwo said other critical thematic areas of focus at the summit include; Encouraging Massive Investment in Waterfront Properties, Resource and Etiquette Training, as well as; Ensuring Professionalism and Improved Customer Service Delivery at Nigerian Airports through the Eradication of Unwholesome Practices.
“It is to further provide the platform for operators in the aviation, road, railways, maritime, and those within the hospitality and tourism value chain and within the confines of national and international operations, to showcase their products and services to consumers, business membership organisations and to the regulatory agencies,” the committee said.
