The organisers of Abuja Jabama and Akwaaba African Travel Market have unveiled the winners of the first Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Events (MICE) Awards in West Africa.
According to the organiser of the event, MICE is the lowest hanging Tourism fruit for Nigeria and West Africa. For Nation states with Challenges in attracting leisure Tourists. MICE which means Meetings Incentive Conferences and Events is the key to growing Tourism.
As Abuja is the highest Ranked Nigerian City it is only appropriate to host the event in Abuja. With the Successes witnessed by Rwanda it is possible to leapfrog your Tourism position using the MICE vehicle.
It is against this background that the organisers of Akwaaba are launching the first MICE event in Nigeria. The discussions will be on MICE as a concept in Hospitality and the lead Speaker will be Charity Githinji a Kenyan based in Tanzania.
West Africa has not done well in MICE. According to the global association for meetings ICCA only Accra Ghana is in the Top 10 in Africa. It is ranked Number 9 in Africa. Abidjan and Dakar are ranked 13 while Abuja is Number 15 while Lagos and Lome are outside the Top 20.
The first MICE Awards ever in West Africa will be given to the Champions of the concept in the Region. Awards will be given to the Pioneers of Tourism in Abuja and Best new hotels in Abuja.
