Also Mr Rotimi Ai…. Who represented the Director-General, Nkigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC), Mr Folarin Coker said “the Hi-Impact Cruise has come and gone but the reminiscences are still lingering. It was to commemorate the 60th Independence Anniversary of Nigeria.
The protocol of invite was standard and the attendees were out of this world. They did not seem like Nigerians to me, a joke though but just trying to tell you that it was a world class settings, not different from what we see outside the country. We are actually getting it right.
“This is a cruise that will encourage domestic tourism in this COVID-19 era where international travels are just opening but slowly, meetings are virtual and social distancing is the norm.
