The Federal Government has called for the signing of two Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) between Nigeria and China in a bid to boost tourism between both countries.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made the call in Abuja when he received in audience, the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Cui Jianchun.
The two MoU, according to Mohammed, were on the Facilitation of Group Travels by Chinese Tourists to Nigeria and Travel Facilitation through the Approved Destination Status (ADS).
Mohammed stated that like China, Nigeria has huge tourism attractions to give effect to the MoU, while also saying that if just one per cent of the 130 million Chinese tourists who travel annually come to Nigeria, it will amount to 1.3 million tourists, which will be a big boost to tourism in Nigeria.
