In a nostalgic flashback to the pre-COVID era, Landmark, a renowned coastal gem, recently reminisced about a momentous visit by the BBC. This visit not only shed light on Landmark’s scenic beauty but also underscored its potential as a premier tourist destination in West Africa.
The BBC’s documentary delved into Landmark’s picturesque landscapes and emphasized the vast possibilities it offers for coastal tourism in the region. Recognizing Landmark as West Africa’s pioneering city beach, leisure, tourism, and lifestyle center, the BBC’s acknowledgment was a testament to their foresight in identifying Nigeria’s untapped coastal potential.
With Nigeria boasting an extensive 853km Atlantic coastline, the BBC highlighted the nation’s promising prospects for expanding the leisure sector. This recognition aligns with Landmark’s mission to contribute significantly to Nigeria’s economic growth, job creation, and cultural enrichment through tourism.
During the interview, stakeholders at Landmark expressed the vital role of tourism in Nigeria’s development. Emphasizing the need for Africans to spearhead the advancement of tourism on the continent, they echoed a vision of tourism-driven progress created by and for Africans.
The hashtag #savelandmarkbeach trended alongside mentions of the BBC, tourism, Nigeria, and Africa, signifying the community’s support for Landmark’s mission and the broader promotion of tourism in Africa.
As Landmark continues to evolve as a beacon of coastal tourism excellence, the BBC’s recognition serves as a catalyst for further growth and underscores the immense potential awaiting exploration in Nigeria’s vibrant tourism landscape.
