This move aims to enhance accessibility to the resort, which has faced challenges due to safety concerns and regulatory restrictions. The Bebi Airstrip, which has been closed for years, is expected to play a crucial role in the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the resort, as well as the broader tourism strategy of Cross River State.",
