The federal government has announced the dates for the Ember to Remember National Stakeholders Conference, set to take place on September 14 at the Eko Hotel in Lagos. Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism, and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa-Musawa, made the announcement in Abuja, discussing the potential of tourism to be a powerful economic sector for the nation.
The conference aims to bring together various stakeholders, including government officials, state tourism authorities, private sector entities, financial institutions, airlines, and creative professionals, to collaborate in building a stronger tourism economy in Nigeria. Musawa emphasized that the conference is not just about creating another event calendar, but rather about establishing a national tourism infrastructure.
She described Ember to Remember as Nigeria's coordinated tourism season from September to December, a 100-day program designed to showcase the country's rich culture, entertainment, hospitality, and natural attractions. The conference will focus on transforming Nigeria's tourism and cultural potential into tangible economic value, addressing areas such as aviation, transportation, digital infrastructure, investment, culture, events, and the overall visitor experience.
Musawa praised MTN Nigeria for its involvement in disseminating the national calendar through the MyCityApp digital platform and Providus Bank for recognizing the role financial institutions can play in the growth of the tourism, hospitality, and creative economies.
