Ondo partners La Campagne to upgrade Araromi Beachfront tnto tourism zone

In line with the vision of making Ondo State a choice tourist destination, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has set plans in motion to make one of the state’s rural and rustic enclaves, Araromi, the best beachfront in Nigeria.

“We have reached an agreement to declare our waterfronts or shores, where we have a lot of advantages in the country, a Tourism Zone,” he said.
  
In his remarks, Akinboboye applauded the governor for this bold move, assuring him of the huge benefits that it would bring to the state, especially in the area of infrastructure development and job creation as well as in transforming the rural community into a fast-growing economic and tourists destination of the first choice.

“Ondo State has limitless potential that can beat any beachfront community in the world. I am sure you are aware that there are 840 kilometres of beachfront in Nigeria across six states Ondo State has the longest, with almost 200 kilometres of it. The entire Dubai has a total of 70 kilometres of beachfront; they welcome over 15.9 million visitors every year. Just imagine if they spend a thousand dollars, multiply by 15.9 million people. This is what the Governor wants to replicate, to bring the entire world here.”
  
He continued: “We have the richest ocean, because of limited operations of trolleys, so our sea is extremely rich with different species of fish, prawns and the entire tourism activities that we believe very strongly will not only attract just Nigerians but Africans in Diaspora. Hence, a declaration like this will attract the world to that area for business opportunities.”

“With this declaration,” he noted, “we in the state would have built a humongous platform for tomorrow’s people. The platform we are standing on today was built by yesterday’s people and Governor Akeredolu has begun the process to build the platform for tomorrow’s people.”
