The Bauchi State Tourism Development Corporation Board is ready to partner with journalists to promote global tourism, marketing, and cultural heritage in the state.
The partnership development was arrived at during a courtesy visit to the Managing Director of the Tourism Development Corporation Board Bauchi when the Exco members of Tourism for Development met him in his office.
The MD, Nasiru Shehu, said the Board has concluded all arrangements to work with the chapter of Journalists for Tourism Development to promote the state’s cultural heritage to the global world by showcasing the state’s heritage potentials. In addition he said that, the Board will engage journalists in all its activities within and outside the state to give more publicity to the general activities of the office.
Dr Nasir acknowledged the power of the media as a very important mechanism in promoting tourism activities to the entire world. He disclosed that the board will enter into a partnership and sign a memorandum of understanding with journalists for tourism development, because the present administration has opened the door to engage anyone who has an interest in promoting the state’s tourism activities.
While appreciating the journalists for the visit and their interest in covering and promoting tourism activities, he allocated an office accommodation to the chapter as part of his support.
Earlier in his speech, the Chairman of Tourism for Development, Mr. Austine Tsenzughul, said the aim of the visit was to introduce the new executive members of Journalists for Tourism and seek collaboration in promoting the agency’s activities.
He informed the MD that the chapter has professional journalists comprising print, radio, and television from reputable media outlets that would give wider coverage of tourism activities to every nook and cranny within and TV TV outside the state and nation at large.
“We’re willing and ever ready to work closely with your organization towards promoting your activities with a view to attracting more investors to the state.”
The chairman, on behalf of the Journalists for Tourism, expressed gratitude for the office accommodation and promised to effectively utilize it for the promotion and dissemination of tourism activities.
