The 7th edition of the Abuja Jabamah, the foremost domestic tourism event in Nigeria is set to take place on the 18th of November 2019 at the Exhibition Hall of the International Conference Centre (ICC) Abuja. The one-day event will feature the induction of the Tourism 100 Club (Class of 2019).
The Tourism 100 Club was set up to recognize individuals who have distinguished themselves as foremost and outstanding drivers in the travel and tourism industry in Nigeria, and who through their efforts and or that of their organizations have impacted positively on the sector, stimulating and helping to achieve the country’s tourism goals and forging interactions among stakeholders and customers across the country.
In 1999, Travellers Magazine published its first Compilation of the Nigerian Top 100 Tourism Club, and last year almost two decades later the list was updated with the Class of 2018.
Other events lined for Abuja Jabamah 2019 includes Familiarisation Trip, Sampling of Northern Cuisine With Chef Fatima, and a B2B Session, while the Induction and presentation round up the day.
