An alluring destination makes Cupid’s arrow more poignant. And so, in this period when love is in the air, when love is celebrated the world all over, there are new trends within the tourism industry-the focus in trendy package tours in which the couples are treated as royalties. Now that the St. Valentine’s Day is around the corner, many find it difficult selecting the best destinations to make the day memorable.
Thankfully, Nigeria’s tourism industry is gradually growing. Domestic tour packagings which were to be virtually absent are now some of the options.
Taste Love Garden at Obudu with Experience Cross River.
Experience Cross River, powered by Remlords Group, is putting together a package for the Valentine weekend.
Couples can book and have a memorable experience at the ranch. The bus will depart Calabar to Obudu Mountain Resort on the morning of February 15.
At the resort, couples would be treated to a lunch and candle light dinner at Love Garden. They will also have the opportunity to participate in the Couples’ Swimming competition.
There is also a ride on the cable car, the longest in Africa. However, couples coming from outside the state are expected to come early, so that they can join the bus ride to Obudu.
Like always, Nigeria’s prime destination-Cross River-still offers other options like Tinapa Resort and its surrounding and many other places.
La Campagne Tropicana, Ikegun, Lagos is a kind of luxury hideaway that has the stamp of class. The resort prides itself on being a paradise beyond imagination. One could understand the reason for the sentiment. With beautiful decorated rooms that are steeped in African motifs, a lush sandy beach , one could understand why the claim of being a paradise.
Lagos is one state that one is spoilt for choice on where to go.
As always, the islands and peninsulas that surround the state beckon. For those who may not have the money to places like Obudu, with a little planning ahead of time, one could plan a low budget Valentine experience and still have a swell time.
Apart from well-rehearsed and much trumpeted sites, there are some emerging tourist sites that possibly, with time, would become full destinations. For families, they could strike out to discover their own beach fronts to enjoy a perfect Valentine. From Maiyegun beach front down to Ikegun and further are beautiful beach fronts brimming with coconut trees. There are so many safe and isolated beaches to go .
But for those who love to be in places where the booze is on, private beaches such as Oniru and Elegushi beaches are options.
For those in Ekiti State, the number one spot for Valentine would ordinarily be Ikogosi Waterfall. But due to the renovation activities currently on in the place, the waterfall is closed. But nearby, the water might not be warm, but sparkles and brims with life.
The Arinta Waterfall is one of the alluring places I have visited.Its surrounding with the pristine, huge trees that hold the rocky hills in warm embrace is always exhilarating. Here, couples and families could have a good time.
Facorp Mangrove Park at the outskirts of Warri, Delta State have all it takes for lovers and family to have a good time at a rather modest cost. But for those looking for the upscale resorts in Delta State, Abraka Turf Club, one of Nigeria’s leading destinations would not be a bad idea.
Ada, the idyllic town in Osun State, is the home of MicCom Golf Club. The resort offers everything for relaxation for the Valentine. Here, one is sandwiched by nature and the peace it brings.
The Olumirin Waterfall, Erin Ijesa is undergoing renovation, but that may not dissuade people from going there. The surrounding may not be bad to spend the time in.
