Eko Hotels to Host 2026 Intercontinental Tourism Symposium

Eko Hotels & Suites will host the Intercontinental Tourism Symposium on May 15-16, 2026, in Lagos, Nigeria, as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. The summit aims to address the challenges and opportunities within Africa's tourism sector, which is often described as the continent's next frontier due to its vast natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.

The event will gather ministers, policymakers, investors, corporate leaders, and students from across Africa and the Caribbean to discuss how to position Africa's hospitality and tourism industry confidently within the global marketplace. Keynote speakers will include Ambassador Wallace William and Professor Patrick Lumumba.

The agenda focuses on practical collaboration to attract international investment, strengthen hospitality standards, and build stronger connections between African destinations and the global travel network. The summit will also examine successful models, such as Kenya's tourism sector, which has evolved through sustainable investment and conservation efforts.
