Press Release: 1ST ANNUAL MISS TOURISM OGUN BEAUTY PAGEANT

REVITALIZING TOURISM THROUGH BEAUTY  

MISS Tourism Ogun State is conceived with franchise from Miss Tourism Nigeria World which is an International franchise brand owned by the Miss Tourism World organization, Great Britain.

The Contest combines a female pageantry and a supermodel search into one to create a super talent competition for discovering future national personalities such as film-stars, models, businessmen, spokesmen and performers but most importantly who are passionate about promoting tourism.

The central idea of Miss Tourism Ogun is to contribute actively and help 'revitalize tourism in the state especially at time when the oil revenue of the country is being threatened by the continuous drop in the price of oil at International market.  This will no doubt force many states in the federation to look inward and activate other sources of revenue. We believe strongly that tourism can add an amazing boost to the state internally generated revenue (IGR). It is instructive to note that many countries of the world earn a huge chunk of their revenue from tourism related activities.

The strategy for this maiden edition of Miss Tourism Ogun State is to position a pageant that will empower young Nigerian women who will in turn become tourist ambassadors to champion the campaign to revive seemingly moribund tourist sites in the state such as Birikisu Sugbo Shrine, Oke Eri, Yemoji Natural Swimming Pool at Ijebu- Ode, etc. and help to further reposition and promote already active sites like the famous “Olumo Rock".

Miss Tourism Ogun State is looking out for young ladies who can combine brain and beauty in our quest to produce a brand ambassador.

The finale (which comes up later in the year) will feature crowning of the eventual winner and awards to individuals and organizations that show support towards our cause of revitalizing and promoting tourism in the state. It is on this note that we call on corporate organizations and well-meaning individuals for sponsorship to make this quest a successful one. We must however note that we have secured working agreement with JOVAGO.COM a leading African booking portal with immense interest and influence in the hospitality industry, Bella Beauty Boutique, Absolute Hearts and Nigeria Bottling Corporation
