What makes sports such a big travel opportunity and why do people travel to watch their favorite sports teams? How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect the Tokyo 2020 Olympics?
Thanks for sharing, Funmi. I found this particularly exciting because of my interest in the business of sports. To answer your question, yes I have attended sporting events before. My most memorable ones include the Mutua Madrid Open (Tennis) Spain, the NBA Global Game (Basketball), COPA Lagos (Beach Soccer), Lagos and the Kwese Premier Basketball League All Star Game, Kano. I plan to be in Qatar for the World Cup too.
I'm interested in people's response to Q1. I'd like to know how many people have attended sporting events in Nigeria. Art, Culture and natural landscapes are the drivers of tourism in Nigeria. We haven't tapped into the potentials of sports to drive local tourism. How do you think this can be addressed?
Mixed Martial Art and the UFC are creeping up on all these events little by little.. you wait for it.
