TOURISM
Organizers of tours to places of interest could seize the opportunity of the rich cultural heritage available to organize visits to places of interest in Osun State. Such intending organizers of tours would enjoy the collaboration of the Centre for Black culture and International Understanding (CBCIU) which welcomes local and foreign visitors wishing to come over on a guided visit of Osun State to see first hand, the rich heritage of our people. Organizers of tours and travels would be encouraged to collaborate with CBCIU to bring in foreigners wishing to visit for the purpose of tracing their roots or understanding the cultural heritage of the Blacks, particularly the Yorubas. The guided tour could take visitors to places like Lagos, the economic capital of Nigeria and Abuja, the capital as well as visit capital cities of the South-West Region of Nigeria. If desirable, other parts of the country could be visited upon request by tour organizers.
