Nigeria Ready for Madrid's Fitur - NTDC

Preparation is in top gear for a befitting outing for Nigeria at this year's annual tourism, hospitality and travel fair known as FITUR holding in Madrid Spain from the end of January to early February.

In a press release issued in Abuja at the weekend, the Director-General of the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation, Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, said the Corporation was putting final touches and perfecting its plans for the outing which would create a magnetic attraction to the Nigerian pavilion.

The fair which is reported to be among the three leading tourism fairs in the world will attract thousands of participants, buyers and sellers from at least 156 countries of the world.

This year, Nigeria will retain the space of 70 square metres but with a new design of its stand which is expected to reflect the Nigerian architecture.

According to Otunba Runsewe, the pavilion would be adorned with stunning pictures of our tourist sites and clusters while artifacts, sculptures and artistic drawings depicting Nigerian cultures and images would add colour to the entire edifice.

    My name is Ihuaghian Edodo, i'm a tourism student in Rey Juan Carlos university, resident at Madrid, Spain. yesterday i assisted the FITUR event, and i may say that i was really disappointed, to see my country Pavillon. I'm sorry to say that the Nigerian Pavilion was a huge shit, barely were people, there wasn't even magazines to give out, there should be more prepared next time because such event is a great opportunity to sell their product, as a touristic and attractive destination, which i doubt.

    next time more inversion plz.
