- The Federal Ministry of Information & Culture should ensure effective coordination between the agencies of the Ministry and the Federation of Tourism Associations of Nigeria. This will reduce the incidence of Government and private tourism operators speaking at cross purposes in the administration and operation of the tourism industry.
- In the light of the 2013 Supreme Court Judgement, between NTDC and Lagos State Government, which stupulates that regulation of Tourism Services is the statutory purview State Governments, thereby limiting the supervisory roles hitherto performed by the NTDC, FTAN hereby calls on the Federal and State Governments, injunction with the organized private sector, to forthwith setup a 'Tourism Advisory Council' for Nigeria.
