FG to introduce tourism in School curriculum - official

Mrs Patricia Narai, Deputy Director, Domestic Tourism in the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture said plans had been concluded to introduce tourism as a subject at senior secondary school level.
l
Narai said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja.

“The Nigerian Educational Development Council has proposed 34 trades and identified tourism as one of the trades to be thought at the entrepreneurship level.

“So students from SS I to SS III will soon start studying tourism and at that level they can come out successful and establish a tourism business of their own.

“And they can also further their education on that line.

“What is left now is the approval, and am sure that soon, the curriculum will be out and the students will start studying tourism,” Narai said.

On its impact, the deputy director said the students would be empowered with skills and knowledge on tourism and hospitality.

She maintained that after graduation from secondary school, such a person could become a tour guide, event manager, visa professional or get employment in the tourism and hospitality sector.

“This is because he or she would have acquired the needed skills and knowledge to effectively carry out responsibilities that will encourage tourists and boost the positive image of the country.”

On getting the propose tourism subject into Joint Admission and Matriculation Board Examination, she explained that it would be a gradual process.

“We have done the curriculum, when it is approved, the teachers guide will follow to enable them know what they are going to teach and subsequently it will go into JAMB and NECO examinations.

“The essence of this is to catch them young; by the time tourism is studied in all senior secondary schools across the country, it will go a long way to produce large workforce for the sector,” Narai said. (NAN)

UNICAL Holds 30th Convocation, Tasks Graduands On Innovation.

Updated March 11, 2017

The University of Calabar (UNICAL) has urged it’s graduands to be innovative by taking advantage of every available opportunity in life.

Chancellor of UNICAL, Professor Zana Akpagu, who made the call, commended the travails of the young graduates in the current economic environment.

Professor Akpagu made the remarks during the institution’s 30th convocation ceremony held on Saturday at the Abraham Stadium at the University premises in Cross River State, south-south Nigeria.

The event was attended by traditional rulers, stakeholders in the education sector and politicians from within and outside the state, as well as well-wishers of the graduands.

Addressing the graduands, the Vice Chancellor urged them not to be defined by their present educational attainment, but by how they survived adversity following the present economic state.

He also tasked the graduands to put to practice the entrepreneur training they have acquired while in school.

Highlighting the achievements of his administration since he took over, Professor Zana said the University has within his first tenure worked hard to ensure strict adherence to academic calendar, lectures schedules and reopening dates.

He added that his administration created a Quality Assurance/ Control Unit and domiciled it under the Directorate of Research and Quality Assurance, saying the unit was empowered with full inspectorate powers to ensure compliance with NUC benchmark minimum academic standard among others.

“We have made strides in the area of curricular expansion and establishment of new faculties, departments and courses.

“As young as this administration is, it has already established the faculties of Dentistry, Engineering and Pharmacy.

“These three facilities are capital intensive and require enormous resources in terms of human capacity and infrastructure for effective take off.

“New departments have also been created, they are: Music, Fine and Applied Arts, Mass Communication, Tourism and Hospitality Management, and Food Science and Technology,” the Vice Chancellor noted.

UNICAL’s Pro Chancellor and Chairman of Governing Council, Dr. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, said he is proud that the institution has attained the status of a highly rated world class University and to pursue collaborations with renewed Universities that have track record of excellence and achievements.

“At this juncture, I want to salute the alumni of this great University. They are scattered all over the world and wherever they are, they are making indelible footprints on the path of success, peace and development,” he said.

Some of the awardees commended the University authorities for instilling knowledge in the graduands which they said was the best assets that can be given to any society.

The University of Calabar successfully graduated a total of 13,347 graduates which include 1,437 were awarded post graduate certificates while 11,910 bagged first degree certificates in different classes out of which 22 earned first class honours degrees.

High point of the ceremony was the award of honorary degrees and the foundation stone laying of the proposed site for an ultra-modern medical centre which is estimated at five billion Naira.

Hundreds Of UK Tourists Set To Be Flown Out Of The Gambia.

BY ATTM · JANUARY 18, 2017

Nearly 1,000 UK holidaymakers are set to be flown home from The Gambia due to growing political unrest.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is now warning against “all but essential travel” to the west African nation due to potential military intervention following the Presidential elections on 1 December.

The holiday company will lay on additional flights from the capital Banjul on Wednesday to bring 985 package holiday customers home.
An additional 2,500 “flight-only” customers will then be contacted and offered the earliest possible flights back to the UK.

The reaction comes after Gambian President Yahya Jammeh declared a state of emergency after refusing to hand power to opposition leader Adama Barrow, who won last month’s election.

State television said the emergency would prevent a power vacuum while the supreme court rules on Mr Jammeh’s petition challenging the election result.

Regional leaders have threatened to intervene militarily if Mr Jammeh does not step down and a senior Nigerian army source said it and other West African states were preparing a military force.

South Africa Tourism (SAT) is planning to work with Nigeria Association of Tour Operators (NATOP) to mutually market Nigeria and South Africa tourism offerings in both countries.

Ntshona Sisa, CEO, SAT made this known at a strategic meeting between the executives of NATOP and SAT held at the GET Centre on Thursday.

According to him, getting a higher share from the two tourists’ destinations is very crucial to the growth and expansion of both markets in 2017.

“We must work together on how to get the higher share of the tourism markets. Tourism is a very important sector. We can’t do this without partnership. We are looking for a mutually beneficial partnership,” he said.

Sisa expressed satisfaction with the increase in traffic of tourists to South Africa in 2016. However, he said SAT is willing to reciprocate this for Nigeria tourism market in 2017.

“My time here is to reinforce the message of my colleagues. We have seen some positive numbers in terms of statistics of growth to South Africa. We want to reciprocate to help build Nigerian tourism sector for out bound tourism.”

Ikechi Uko, founder, AKWAABA Travel Market who spoke on behalf of NATOP said the association is already putting its best foot forward for 2017 on how to market the numerous Nigeria tourism offerings.

“We all need your help and experience to sell our tourism products. We want to market them in 2017. We will need your help because you have the experience. We have had a good relationship with you; we want more,” he said.

Uko further explained that NATOP has outlined its events and programmes on which destinations to market to Africa in 2017. Some of the destinations are: Carnival Calabar, Osun Osogbo, Akwaaba African Travel Market Lagos and Kano Durbar.

NATOP members, Bolaji Mustapha, CEO, GET Centre, Abiola Lawal of flyboku.com, appealed to Sisa to discuss with the South African High Commission in Nigeria to make visa procurement seamless for tourists.

Also, Uko cut his birthday with NATOP members and the South African executives.

How to Start a Travel Club.

A travel club unites a group of people together with the desire to travel.

Large groups of people typically get great deals on travel packages, so this route works well for budgeting travelers.

It also gives you a group of people to travel with which is especially convenient when going to foreign environments.

The club's president and members plan travel club events, vacations, and excursions.

Distinguish the type of travel club you are going to develop.

Types of travel groups include genres such as family travel groups, high school or middle school travel groups, special needs travel groups, abroad travel groups, singles travel groups, etc.

If you do not have a specific travel group niche, simply establish a general travel club.

Recruit members to your travel club.

Fliers:

Post fliers in local businesses and ask local delivery services (such as pizza or Chinese food restaurants) if they will post your flier on their deliveries.

Be sure to get permission from the businesses' owners or managers before posting anything on their property.

Network:

Utilize social networking through face-to-face and word of mouth contact, through online social networking sites and blogs, use advertising on online sources such as search engines and post your site on any source pages that will allow it.

Ways to find members to recruit can also be based on the type of travel club you are going to create.

For example, if this is a high school travel club, advertise with flyers around your school, word of mouth, online posting and networking, and even a travel club event such as a luau that showcases pictures and travel ideas for both near and far destinations.

Develop a club charter and rules, then appoint offices.

The club charter is a commitment created by the club's members to establish the club's intention, expectations, and policies.

And as with any club, the typical offices held are as follows.

President:

This person mandates over the club and leads meetings.

Vice President:

This person plans the travel events and excursions.

Secretary:

This person records and recites minutes.

Treasurer/Accountant:

This person handles all monetary effects.

Historian:

This person maintains pictures and notes of previous outings.

Public Officer:

This person distributes flyers and maintains responsibility of club advertising.

Web Master:

This person sees over the club's website if applicable.

Set up a business bank account.

This will be the duty of the treasurer/accountant of your travel club and will ensure all monies are easily accounted for within a legitimate financial institution.

Write up membership contracts.

Hire a lawyer to do this so it is legally binding, free from loopholes, and protects you and your assets.

The lawyer will also inform you of liability issues as well as any legal aspects that may have been overlooked.

Research the best deals, tours, and charter companies for your travel group.

Many travel accommodators offer big discounts for large travel groups, especially if you have a specific niche your travel club is filling.

This job should be delegated to more members than yourself, so include at least your vice president in on this task as well.

Also, if you have never been to a destination or used a certain charter company before, be sure to thoroughly research them and especially look into reliable reviews before booking.

Book your travel club's events, vacations, and excursions.

Be sure to be certain about every aspect in the itineraries and have back up plans in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

All work and no play may dull on-the-job learning at workplaces, according to a team of researchers.

In a study, having fun at work was significantly related to informal learning, which includes most unstructured, non-classroom forms of learning, said Michael Tews, associate professor of hospitality management.

Informal learning is a common way employees pick up lessons that can improve their job performances.

“Most learning at the workplace occurs independently at the desk, or with a few other people, not necessarily in a classroom," said Tews.

He added that it may not be the fun activities themselves that instill the new lessons, but how fun creates a better learning environment.

People in fun work environments are more inclined to try new things and not fear possible mistakes, for example.

“You might not think there is this connection between informal learning and fun in the workplace," said Tews. “It's easier to make the connection between fun and retention, or fun and performance to the extent that it leads to creativity, but fun and learning doesn't seem connected at the face of it.

The gist of this argument, though, is that when you have a workplace that is more fun, it creates a safe environment for learning to occur."

The study looked at fun activities supported by management to enhance wellbeing — team-building activities or celebrations to recognize achievements, for example — and the manager's overall support for fun on the job.

A manager's support for fun actually mattered more than his or her support for learning, according to the researchers, who reported their findings in the Journal of Vocational Behavior, currently online.

“There's a lot talk in the literature about a manager's support for learning, or creating a climate for learning, and how that makes a culture for learning where workers learn from one another," said Tews. “What we're showing is that this fun on the job actually matters as much as — or even more — than that support for learning."

Fun can also bring coworkers together, which, in turn aids learning between workers.

“It creates this group cohesion," said Tews. “So, when there's fun, then the co-workers may be able to get to know each other, have better connections, and be more apt to help each other."

While fun is often looked at a distraction by managers, it may improve a worker's resiliency and optimism, leading to better attention with tasks, according to Tews, who worked with John W. Michel, associate professor of business and management, Loyola University and Raymond A. Noe, professor of management and human resources, Ohio State University.

However, fun is not a cure-all for workplace productivity and learning, Tews cautioned. In earlier research, he found that fun had a favorable effect on promoting employee retention, but could cause productivity to suffer. Managers, then, should be selective in how they use fun to encourage learning and productivity.

“With most management tactics, there are always going to be pros and cons," said Tews. “There's never going to be a perfect workplace, there's never going to be a perfect management intervention, so you have to choose your battles."

The researchers recruited 206 managers from a chain of 80 casual dining restaurants. The restaurants are decentralized with limited opportunities for classroom learning and rely on informal learning opportunities to improve knowledge and skills.

Participants were asked to rate fun activities, their own bosses' support for fun, their attitude and informal learning at their restaurants.

Tews said future research is needed to validate the study's findings with other groups of employees. However, the current findings are promising to support the notion that fun has instrumental value in the workplace, he added.

Cultural heritage tourism (or just heritage tourism or diaspora tourism) is a branch of tourism oriented towards the cultural heritage of the location where tourism is occurring.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States defines heritage tourism as "traveling to experience the places, artifacts and activities that authentically represent the stories and people of the past," and "heritage tourism can include cultural, historic and natural resources."

Culture has always been a major object of travel, as the development of the Grand Tour from the 16th century onwards attests. In the 20th century, some people have claimed, culture ceased to be the objective of tourism: tourism is now culture.

Cultural attractions play an important role in tourism at all levels, from the global highlights of world culture to attractions that underpin local identities. (Richards, 1996)

According to the Weiler and Hall, culture, heritage and the arts have long contributed to appeal of tourist destination. However, in recent years 'culture' has been rediscovered as an important marketing tool to attract those travellers with special interests in heritage and arts.

According to the Hollinshead, cultural heritage tourism defines as cultural heritage tourism is the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry because there is a trend toward an increase specialization among tourists.

This trend is evident in the rise in the volume of tourists who seek adventure, culture, history, archaeology and interaction with local people.

Cultural heritage tourism is important for various reasons; it has a positive economic and social impact, it establishes and reinforces identity, it helps preserve the cultural heritage, with culture as an instrument it facilitates harmony and understanding among people, it supports culture and helps renew tourism (Richards, 1996).

As Benjamin Porter and Noel B. Salazar have ethnographically documented, however, cultural heritage tourism can also create tensions and even conflict between the different stakeholders involved (Porter and Salazar 2005).

Cultural heritage tourism has a number of objectives that must be met within the context of sustainable development such as; the conservation of cultural resources, accurate interpretation of resources, authentic visitors experience, and the stimulation of the earned revenues of cultural resources.

We can see, therefore, that cultural heritage tourism is not only concerned with identification, management and protection of the heritage values but it must also be involved in understanding the impact of tourism on communities and regions, achieving economic and social benefits, providing financial resources for protection, as well as marketing and promotion. (J. M. Fladmark, 1994)

Heritage tourism involves visiting historical or industrial sites that may include old canals, railways, battlegrounds, etc.

The overall purpose is to gain an appreciation of the past. It also refers to the marketing of a location to members of a diaspora who have distant family roots there.

Located in south-south geopolitical zone of Nigeria, Bayelsa State which was carved out of Rivers State, was one of the states created by the military regime of late Gen. Sani Abacha on 1st October, 1996. The state has one of the largest crude oil and natural gas deposits in Nigeria. As a result, petroleum production is extensive in the state. However, the majority of Bayelsans are mainly rural dwellers and the local population engage in fishing on a subsistence and commercial level.

History

Created out of the old Rivers State in 1996, the name Bayelsa is an acronym of three former local government area, Brass, Yenagoa, and Sagbama. Bayelsa State is located in an oil rich Niger Delta area where Nigeria’s first oil well at Oloibiri was erected when the country joined the ranks of oil producers in 1958 when its first oil field came on stream producing 5100 bpd.

People & Culture

Even though Bayelsa is a multi-ethnic state comprised of many other ethnic groups such as Kolokunu, Ekpetiama, Igbriran, Atissa and Biseni, the state is predominantly occupied by the Ijaws. Other tribes found in the state are Nembe, Ogbia and Ogbein, each having its own dialect. There are four main languages in Bayelsa State, which are Izon, Nembe, Ogbia and Epie-Atissa. The predominant religions in the State are Christianity and Traditional worship.
Occupation

The major occupations in the State are fishing, farming, palm oil milling, lumbering, palm wine tapping, local gin making, trading, carving and weaving.
[tab:Geography] Bayelsa State is geographically located within Latitude 4°15′ North and latitude 5°23′ south and longitude 05°22′ West and 06°45′ East. It shares boundaries with Delta State on the North, Rivers State on the East and the Atlantic Ocean on the West and South. The state has a land area 21,110sqkm/10,773km square.

The state has a vegetation characterized by mangrove forest and in the north it has a thick forest with arable lands for cultivation. Bayelsa State is a picturesque tropical rain forest, with an area of about 21,110 square kilometres. More than three quarters of this area is covered by water, with a moderately low land stretching from Ekeremor to Nembe.

Bayelsa State, Nigeria

The area lies almost entirely below sea level with a maze of meandering creeks and mangrove swamps. The network of several creeks and rivers in the South, all flow into the Atlantic Ocean via the major rivers such as San Bartholomew, Brass, Nun, Ramos, Santa Barbara, St. Nicholas, Sangana, Fishtown, Ikebiri Creek, Middleton, Digatoro Creek, Pennington and Dobo.

Cities & Towns
The major towns in Bayelsa State are Yenagoa, Amasoma, Sagbama, Obi, Kauama, Oloibiri, Ogbia, Oporama, Koluama, Brass, and Opokuma. There are eight local government areas; these are brass, Ekeremor, Kolokuma/Opkuma, Nembe, Ogbia, Sagbama, Southern-Ijaw and Yenagoa.

Climate

Bayelsa lies within the heaviest rainfall area in Nigeria, with heavy rain forest and a short dry season (usually from November to March). The mean monthly temperature is in the range of 25°C to 31°C. Mean maximum monthly temperatures range from 26°C to 31°C. The mean annual temperature is uniform for the entire Bayelsa State. The hottest months are December to April.

The difference between the wet season and dry season on temperatures is about 2°C at the most. Relative humidity is high in the state throughout the year and decreases slightly in the dry season.
[tab:Attractions] Kaiama Market: Kaiama market sprang up at the bank of Kaiama River as the business area of the port where fishermen and traders in other goods come to buy and sell. The market caters to every need and products, especially consumables are quite affordable at low prices.

Nigeria’s First Oil Well, Oloibiri: In Oloibiri town, there is a monument on the road junction where is sited the first crude oil well, ever drilled in Nigeria when oil was discovered in Nigeria in 1956. The oil well, 12,008 feet deep, marked the beginning of Nigeria’s economic base shift from Agriculture to Oil and gas.
Ox-Bow Lake:

The lake and its surrounding recreational parks is a deliberate effort of the Bayelsa State Government to develop the tourism potentials of the State. It offers boat rides, swimming and relaxation. Also under construction in the vicinity of the lake is a modern galleria of theater arts and cinema as well as a 5-star hotel.

Mungo Park Residence: Named after the explorer Mungo Park who discovered the source of the River, this edifice used to be the divisional Headquarter of the colonial rulers of Brass division. The old building has been preserved and refurbished as a monument of historical tourism. The wood and brick building remains strong, weathering decades of storms.

Akassa Slave Transit Camp and Tunnel :

The transit camp found in Ogbokiri, Brass near Akassa in Brass LGA, is the spot where slaves were camped and later transported to the new world (America and Caribbean) through the Atlantic Ocean. Till this day, the grim-looking houses built of iron and brick where slaves were chained as they awaited shipment to the Americas still stands to show the horrific slave trade era.

Akassa Wildlife Forest:

Akassa forest is one of the major forest reserves of the Niger Delta region for bird watching with over 69 species of birds recorded. The reserve is one of the most important roosting area for wintering pale arctic waders and terns in southern Nigeria and it has a land area of 7,200 hectares.

Okpoama Beach: Okpoama Beach is a natural sand beach at the bank of the Atlantic Ocean where a yearly Christmas fiesta takes place. Its shores are washed clean and pure by the gentle rolling waves.

Mangrove Creeks: Cruising down the creeks on a fast-moving speed-boat at a high speed may sound incredible to many but it is an experience of a life time for the daring tourist. In tranquil waters, the boat has a free-run through the creeks.

There are actual “road junctions” and “bypasses” along the water ways which are a wonder to behold. Depending on the time available, tourists can actually spend four hours between Ogbia and Akassa, the farthest island in Bayelsa.
Apoi creek Forest:

The forest is a tidal freshwater lowland swamp forest which is located in the central Niger Delta and composed mainly of marshes, mangrove forest and freshwater swamps. The forest is dense and rich in several ecologically and economically valuable flora and fauna species some of which is the red colobus monkey, manatee, sclater guenon, royal python, and chimpanzee.

The forest also serves as an important spawning and nursery ground for fish. It is one of the major wetland in the Niger Delta that supports birdlife.
