National Registration For All Hospitality And Tourism Practitioners Begins

The National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR) has launched the National Registration of Tourism Sector Personnel and Practitioners as of 1st December 2024. This initiative, in line with the NIHOTOUR Establishment Act 2022 (Gazette No. 3 of 2023), is aimed at regulating all personnel and practitioners within Nigeria’s hospitality and tourism sector.

Under the leadership of Aare Abisoye Fagade, FIMC, the Director General/CEO of NIHOTOUR, this comprehensive registration process extends beyond hotel staff to include all individuals and professionals involved in hospitality and tourism practices.

According to Aare Abisoye Fagade, the registration will remain free for the first six weeks. However, starting from the next quarter of 2025, a fee will be introduced. Aare Fagade has encouraged hotels and other stakeholders in the hospitality and tourism industry to take full advantage of this free registration window.

Registration is available at www.nihotour.gov.ng, and NIHOTOUR remains committed to professionalizing and elevating the standards of Nigeria’s hospitality and tourism industry.
