 As part of our efforts aimed at promoting creativity and cultural assets in the rural communities across the country, the federal government is ready to reset tourism and hospitality in the post-pandemic era by collaborating with rural communities through digital promotion for endless possibilities of development. Of this year's urban tourism celebration held at the Cultural Center of Biokuta, state capital with the theme Rethinking Tourism, the Director General Nigeria Tourism Development Corporation NTDC, Valori Shokoka, represented by Akeisha Laziz, said that the motive was to create new channels for the tourism market. Speaking at the event, the Commissioner for Tourism said that the government will deploy a public-private partnership to revamp tourist sites in the state. The potentials of tourism are enormous and we all have a shared responsibility to make sure it is fully realized. We are back home on all tourism stakeholders and everyone at the base of the broad and diverse tourism pyramid to first reflect and think what we do and how we do it. The ministry will continue to work down the clock to evolve better marketing and promotional strategies that will further encourage more visitors and tourist visits to the various tourist sites across the state. Like ever before, we shall give the sound attention to the development of all inclusive, long and short-term cultural tourism blueprints that will retain the gateway state in the pride of place in the Committee of State. Machineries are registered in motion to equally explore the PPP, the public-private partnership. The fact is that the government alone cannot do it. Opal State is blessed with so many tourist sites that we cannot but call upon good-hearted people. People who have the heart for tourism, for art, to come in and invest in Opal State, to envision a technology-driven cultural tourism research center for cultural tourism education, trading, workshops, exhibitions and performance.
