The importance of travel and tourism cannot be over emphasised in that it’s a passport to creating destinations wealth by using its environmental potential resources as an invisible trade. Travel and tourism is sold as an experienced. This is why many destinations worldwide are investing in travel and tourism and as a socio-economic progress, “creating jobs and enterprises, export revenues and infrastructural development”. (UNWTO, 2015).
Travel and Tourism Shout Out is here to promote those benefits to communities most especially, areas of less developed economies. This blog site is in collaboration with www.aspiretourismandeducation.com (Aspire Tourism Consultancy Limited) with its Facebook fan page at Aspire Tourism and Education and UpGradeNigeriawithTourism.
