Tap Into Tourism Potential - Expert Urges Deltans
Tourism expert has appealed to Deltans to tap into the huge tourism potential and tourist attractions in the state.
The expert, who is the project coordinator of Explore Delta, Mr. John Paul Okonma while speaking with newsmen on Tuesday 27th in Asaba, disclosed that Delta State was endowed with various natural tourism potentials.
Okonma said for a country like Kenya, without oil or any notable mineral resource, had an exceptionally buoyant economy generated from tourism resources.
''We can borrow a leaf from Kenya by rediscovering itself in the dynamics of our tourism potential.
"Aside from oiling our socio-economic wheels of progress, a conscious, sustained and multi-dimensional coordination and promotion of the our tourism potentials will greatly boost revenue generation in the state."
He said that the potentials were not manmade and therefore should be grateful to God. He therefore, appealed for increased patronage, to develop the sector.
