NIGERIA TRAVEL WEEK 2020 DOWNLOADING…
Nigeria Travel Week 2019 was truly an enlightening and educative program. Count down to Nigeria Travel Week 2020…
If you attended do share your experience in the comment section below.
If you haven’t then look out for the 2020 edition and plan to attend.
I was opportune to attend only the Roundtable and I must say, it was a huge eye opener, I got to see the real challenges tourism advocates faced in this country and I also got to meet a lot of travel bigwigs for the first time ever!
I’ll definitely be aiming for a tour of Loving Lagos, I was actually in the area back in January but I’d like to know, is a tour of the premises free?
You might need to check their Instagram page. We went on a sponsored trip by Nigeria Travel Week, so I can’t really tell.
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure
Lovely write up, pictures and videos. I look forward to being part of the upcoming ones
Great Faith
