Lagos should be above Egypt, I'm sure this statistics is not from our own propaganda machines.

Whom on earth is coming to Lagos except Nigerians? 😂😂

Nigeria is not close to its regional rivals in tourism.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
FINLAND IS AN ISOLATED ENCLAVE RIGHT NOW...,IT IS DOWN AND GOING DOWN THE TOILET SOON IFSHA.

Not true

Litmus:
Kings, palaces, kingdoms and festivals. But these are currently not under sale to visitor curiosity.

You can find better as in much better in other parts of Africa and the world.

Pootle:
even nigerians dont visit nigeria, if the agulu warrior won the election nigeria would have been the no1 destination to world travelers

No1?
Nigeria doesn’t compare to Kenya, South Africa, Botswana or even Ghana. Nigerians have so much bravado

isArray:
Do you have data to back this up? I don't have the data too, but I know during the glory days of Obudu cattle ranch, Calabar festival, Kajuru castle e.t.c tourists do troop in

Nigeria has always been at the very bottom end of most visited African countries.

Joban2006:
With the way our airport is seeing foreigners trooping in and our people traveling out the report is not correct in my own opinion🤔

Which foreigners? It’s largely business or diplomatic related. Don’t be deceived. Other africans and certainly foreigners aren’t visiting Nigeria.

Litmus:
Nigeria is hugely gifted with sites and occasions of interest that would thrill the world of tourism if Nigeria invested.

The Osu Osogbo festival is gaining world interest. Every year, pilgrimage to the place grows.

Nigeria has hundreds of kings, palaces and kingdoms that have amazingly survived to present day but are shadows of thire former glory. They are potential gold. Yet the youths of Nigeria would foolishly like these abolished.

People are visiting from as far as USA and Brazil....

It’s still nowhere near as much other African nations

blacknp:
Leave & go where, make I be slave & second class citizen for Oyibo man country? Tufiakpa, we will stay & build Nigeria our mother land.

The day Dangote, Tony Elumelu or Femi Otedola leave Nigeria na that day I go leave Naija also for good, but until then it will not stop me from coming to South Beach Miami for Memorial Day weekend every year.

Nigeria just doesn’t have tourist attractions

Usmanovic95:
This is top ten, let's see top50,
9ja🇳🇬 will definitely make that list.

To me, the surprise on that list is Zimbabwe. What is attracting people to that country with all the weird news always coming from that side😌

Wildlife

Helel:
Lagos Now!!!! See questions
The dubai and brown zinc of Africa

What a crazy exaggeration

CommonSense1967:
Where is Ethiopia on the list? I'm going there next.

I have been to Morroco, Kenya, Tanzania, and Benin and now going to Ethiopia.

I want to visit almost all the African countries. Enough of spending money visiting European and Asian countries.
Let's appreciate Africa. I'm excited about my trip to Addis, looking forward to the history and of course the beautiful ladies.

The West, Latin America and Asia are much better to visit

Gerrard59:
Which means it makes sense to invest in hotels in those countries rather than Nigeria. At least, one gets dollar carrying tourists. Another problem is our visa system. We label every country equal, which is not a good based on economics. We ought to be visa free to countries whose GDP per capita is above $30K. Security and the image of theft are also major problems. We are not friendly people. Most Nigerians are very angry and aggressive.

Nigeria has tourist attractions, but many factors hinder their exploration.

What tourist attractions?

politicoNG:
AfricaFactsZone

Some not most are actually disputing this in the comments. This is crazy Nigerians have so much bravado and ego that make Brits and Americans look humble.

abdulskulboy:
Lagos should be in number 1+

Nigerians grossly overestimate themselves

Sladem05:
What tourist attractions?

There are tourist attractions in Nigeria. Nigeria has the equivalent tourist attractions of Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Mauritius, etc. The economy needs to grow so Nigerians can patronise them, and most importantly, infrastructure and security needs to be in place. When the economy was good, we patronised Obudu Resort.

I agree and it’s obviously not surprising that Nigeria can’t really compete in tourism with its rivals. Nigeria’s international reputation is not as good as those countries though. That’s another thing that affects global tourism.

profjid:
Wow Nigeria isn't there

The security issues in Nigeria is scary
