Firm hails Buhari’s TDF programme

Organisers of Nigeria Hotel and Tourism Investment Conference (NHTIC), Jonel Hospitality Consulting, has hailed the Federal Government for taking steps to float a Tourism Development Fund (TDF).

A statement by its Managing Partner, Brian Efa, said it was a welcome development.
“The tourism sector has the potential of becoming the highest employer of labour and can contribute up to 25 per cent of the GDP if fully harnessed.
‘‘The TDF, hopefully, will support projects that encourage three key streams: tourism investment, tourism product development and industry capacity building.
‘‘Tourism is vital to our economy and the TDF will, if fully implemented, support the industry,’’ he said.
