This is beautiful! Congratulations to every one of them. Well done Travellers' Magazine for this 'enlightening' compilation.

The record does not show much of the activities of Dignitaries in African Tradition and culture Through out the year but more in the months of festivals, Traditional and African cultural venues are often heavily busy welcoming tourists from different places of the World. Hattaf International ( Healing, Teaching and Tourism Temple International ) founded since 1980 by Chief Dr Sola Olalekan Atanda has been involved in both National and International tourism activities for the past several years. Chief Dr. Sola Atanda was Executive Secretary for Osun Osogbo International festival for several years amongst other notable activities he was and still involved with. There are several other traditional and cultural great people like him that are not mentioned in the record published.

Congratulations to all the other awardees! And a big thank you to the Akwaaba Team.

This is a bold and unbais selection of stakeholders who have passiinately contributed practically to tourism promotiin and development in the Nigerian Tourism Industry. 100 is a big number and unique in the awards series. Everyone cannot be a winner at the same time and everyone cannot be a loser at the same time. A balanced selection that is not only going to foster unity and encourage the awardees to do more, but a clarion call to genuine stakeholders to continue to think outside the box at making tourism not only a mainstay of the economy but also restrategise newer ideas to pull resource together to put tourism in it rightful place in the scheme of things. We have to work together which is the new spirit of partnership development and success. Nigerian Tourism is what the world is waiting for.

Its a good start however we feel it has not captured those of us in the Academics who are the base of where the Manpower needs are trained .Please take time to go round Nigerian polytechnics and universities to check the quality of manpower training we do in tourism and hospitality .Good Academics abound in institutions like federal polytechnics Bauchi, Kaduna ,Idah ,Nassarawa,Katsina poly etc I hope next time you will take this into consideration We equally have professionals in Honk Kong university polytechnic ,etc

Congrats to all the winner. I'm proud to be in this line of profession.

Congratulations to you all, wishing you all more years of greatness in your endeavors
