The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) is advocating for the creation of a digital tourism system in Nigeria. They want both the government and businesses to use technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), to enhance the tourism sector's economic potential. At a recent conference for World Tourism Day, LCCI's president, Engr. Leye Kupoluyi, highlighted how digital technology is changing the way people travel, including how they find places to visit and make bookings. He believes Nigeria can improve its tourism by using its rich cultural heritage, festivals, historical sites, and natural attractions. To make the most of these opportunities, Kupoluyi emphasized the need for better infrastructure, such as reliable internet and electricity, and a national strategy that connects tourism with other sectors like transportation and security. He also stressed the importance of having rules in place to protect data and ensure the responsible use of AI in tourism. In summary, the LCCI is pushing for a smarter, tech-driven approach to tourism in Nigeria to help boost the economy and improve visitor experiences.
