In a bid to harmonise and project the tourism industry for better engagement among stakeholders in the public and private sector, the Federation of Tourism Association of Nigeria (FTAN) has promised to redefine its approach through seamless collaboration.

The President of the Federation, Mr. Nkereuwem Onung, who disclosed this in his Christmas message to stakeholders, said “right advocacy that will touch a broad spectrum of industry issues for a better understanding and engagement is the focus of FTAN for 2023. We have all worked assiduously through our individual effort and support in 2022 to not only position the federation, but also proudly brought a new team spirit to the way things are done in FTAN.”

Onung stressed that going forward, FTAN will continue to device new ways to engender mutual membership engagement, business collaborations that will promote unity among its diverse membership. “In addition, we are going to consolidate on the TRIAC Mandate to statutorily draw a seamless engagement with government and workout a win-win approach toward harmonising and achieving different sustainable tourism goal for a PPP bid.”

Onung also noted that the year 2022 came with some friction that destabilised some good plans, but noted that the federation has been able to weather the storm through practical approach and genuine programmes and events accomplished across the six zones where FTAN have designated vice presidents and state coordinators. “I must congratulate everyone in all our zones as well as members of all associations under FTAN for the understanding, support, solidarity and innovation during the challenges we faced and conquered in 2022. Together, we are all champions of the Nigeria tourism industry because of our positive approaches throughout the year. No doubt, we have made a landmark achievement and we will continue to do more for members’ plights to be heard and be taken care of, as the government needs the private sector as much as the private sector needs the government to practically sustain the industry.

“The federation will continue to reinvent new ways for membership engagement through right and timely planning to put the tourism industry on the right perspective for economic gains,” Onung said.

The President expressed appreciation to every association and members of associations under FTAN as well as other stakeholders in the tourism industry and subsector for their support.
