To support government in tourism
The organiser said that the initiative was to support the Federal Government’s tourism agenda as a viable sector and an alternative source of revenue from the oil sector.
“The foreign participants are expected to spend their own currencies in the country while the conference lasted.
“These will translate to an increase in our foreign exchange earnings and boost patronage of the hospitality business in the country,’’ he said.
