Through our Embassy around the world we need to put people who can market our Tourism, that is people with experience to go out there and market our tourism Facilities as well as Destinations and make it worth their while,  by giving them some insentive generated from that Country, Because of the bad perception they've looked at us over the years we need to put together experts to create ready made packaged tours that will hand over to them because right now very few people want to come to Nigeria on their own, they've got to be guided they've got to know that they are supported by government. They've got to know that its a tour that is protected. so that when you are in New York or Washington DC  They can tell the Travel agency that it is a government endeavour for security guarantee.
