The source pointed out: “You know NATOP is the engine room of tourism. Without NATOP members, tourism business is defective for we are the set of trained professionals who ensure that customers consummate to the optimum their tourism adventure. The effectiveness of NATOP is the health of the tourism business in any country. This is why Hajia Abdul and members of NATOP are spreading the gospel according to Nigerian tourism beyond the confines and geography of Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt and Jos. “
NATOP according to the source, “Is the only authentic association recognised globally for the tour conducting, packaging and enlightenment hence it is going to be the first Nigeria and national tourism association that will be holding its AGM in Ile–Ife. And to bless it all, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi has promised to host NATOP for its AGM.”
The source revealed that “NATOP believes that the March 15 visit is not just for ceremony alone but what we have tagged “A pilgrimage to the Source of Yoruba.” Thus, the association is crossing all the t’s’ and dotting all the I’s ‘at making the pilgrimage to Ile Ife an awesome adventure.
