GM Kogi State Tourism Board Urge Communities to Showcase Cultural Heritage To Boost Tourism.

 

Communities across Kogi State’s three senatorial districts – Kogi Central, Kogi East, and Kogi West – are being encouraged to package their unique cultural profiles for submission to the Kogi Hotels and Tourism Board. This initiative aims to promote Kogi as a premier tourist destination, showcasing its rich cultural heritage and attracting visitors from far and wide.

The Kogi Hotels and Tourism Board is currently developing a yearly calendar of activities to highlight the state’s cultural and tourist attractions. By submitting their profiles, communities in Kogi State can increase their visibility, appeal to tourists, and reap numerous economic benefits.

*Economic Benefits of Promoting Cultural Tourism in Kogi State*

– _Increased Revenue_: Tourism can generate significant revenue for local communities through accommodations, food, and souvenir sales.
– _Job Creation_: A thriving tourism industry can create employment opportunities for local residents, helping to reduce poverty and improve living standards.
– _Cultural Preservation_: By showcasing their cultural heritage, communities in Kogi State can help preserve their traditions and customs for future generations.
– _Infrastructure Development_: Tourism can drive investment in local infrastructure, such as roads, hotels, and amenities, benefiting both tourists and local residents.

According to the General Manager of the Kogi State Hotels and Tourism Board Hon. Prince Philip Orebiyi, the government of His Excellency Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo is committed to developing tourism as a tool for social reengineering and creating wealth for Kogi State citizens.
