The world has three people. Those are busy discussing others; Those who watch things happen (spectators); and those who make things happen.

Where do you belong?

It’s important to be active because it is what God sees in your hands He will use to bless you.

Inactiveness is unacceptable.

The Spirit of God is active 24 hours a day. If you are not active, you are a failure.

Mrs Omotayo Omotosho (MFR), known as Madam Tourism, is without doubt in the category of those who make things happen.

Madam Tourism, poised with marching Tourism in Nigeria forward, has been active with different activations in the industry.

The just-held 2018 Destination Tourism Night was under the auspices of one of her initiatives: Towards A Greater Nigeria Foundation, a pioneer promoter of Nigeria’s cultural tourism strength.

Madam Tourism’s immense involvement was hugely contributive to having dignitaries from various sectors attend the event.

It also powered it to the very heights of success many never envisaged it would be.

It is important to note that tourism in Nigeria was like the days of the Israelites in Egypt before Mrs Omotosho’s tourism activation, which is called Towards A Greater Nigeria.

The activation took the sector out of that Egypt-era, just as Moses did for Israel..

To this day, Moses is one of the best intercessors in the bible.

Madam Tourism’s valid track records in the industry for over three decades, evidenced her being the best intercessor in the sector.

This she has done by throwing the robustness of her circle of influence, strength, and excellence behind the event.

She is a daughter of Zion, a doer of God’s word and a mother in the industry to the Executive Producer, Travelogue Communications Limited, Ayo Omotoso.

He is the initiator of the event and has also been active in promoting Nigeria’s strength in tourism.

Ayo Omotoso finds inspiration in the biblical stories of Abraham, Moses, and Joseph, all of whom we constantly found engaged in productive work.

The tourism entertainment event—coined as touritainment took place on Sunday 28, October 2018 at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island Lagos.

The event revealed how ready we are as a nation to march forward in the world’s biggest industry with an overwhelming turnout.

A mammoth crowd converged to evidence the beginning of a success story in Nigerian Tourism.

TVC’s Esther Omopariola and Comedic Mcee-Kay C. hosted the event

Chief Host of the event, Madam Tourism welcomed dignitaries of great superiority, ambassadors, Ministers, Traditional Rulers, tourism enthusiasts and many others.

She did this with a welcome address that was a short prose.

Madam Tourism described the turnout of the event as what speaks to a volume on how ready Nigeria is to get to the front burner.

She rejigged attendees with needful valid points that were governed with a good will message “Let’s go explore the low hanging fruits” in this prose.

“Let’s celebrate what we have got… don’t let us be looking at things that are pretty far,” she said.

She continued saying, don’t let us be waiting till every infrastructure will be in place… we wouldn’t wait marketing Nigeria until we get all that. It will be suicidal if we wait because other nations or states are not waiting. Anambra State is not waiting, Cross River State is not waiting, even Lagos State they are not waiting… why should we wait as individuals? Why should we wait as tourism enthusiasts and tour operators? Madam Tourism asked.

She ended her prose by telling everyone that what she calls low hanging fruits are basically our rich cultural tourism products, our festivals: New yam festival, Argungu festival, Kano Durbar Festival, Osun Osogbo Festival, Black Heritage festival, Eyo Festival and many others.

DTN-TAGN was absolutely a definite touritainment event of performances of zenith class from Gifted Steppers of Ikorodu; Poetic Lyricist Akeem Lasisi; and Drum Goddess ARA.

Comedic thriller Seyi Law dazzled attendees with his comical strength.

Adire Lounge, Stitches by IMAK, Willie Jones Couture, one of Nigeria’s top fashion brands—AY Stitches—OG Wears, Sky View Communications, Peaceful sky, Properties Everywhere, My Beautiful Africa, Longrich, and Energy Smart Nigeria all displayed a variety of tourism-related goods at the tourism exhibition market (ESNG).
