Nigeria is willing to enhance cooperation with China in the tourism sector, an
official of the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC) said on
Friday.
Olusegun Runsewe, director-general of the NTDC said the corporation has
designed a special website in Chinese language in a bid to attract more
tourists from China.
The NTDC is a tourism body responsible for promoting, marketing and
disseminating information on Nigeria's tourism industry locally and
internationally.
"We receive over 200 enquiries from the Chinese audience on a daily basis,
requesting to know more about Nigeria," said Runsewe, who is planning to
visit China in early April to formalize arrangement with the Chinese counterpart.
"We have identified China as a big market for our tourism industry to move
forward, because we see them as a strategy partner," he said.
There are huge opportunities in Nigeria's tourism industry for investments, he said.
"We have most of the biggest hotels in world operating in Nigeria, but we
want more Chinese to come into Nigeria because they are special," he said.
"They are lovely people, nice people and very hospitable," he added.
