The Ibom Christmas Village may have its few low points, especially in this year's edition, but it remains a grand idea.
Tourism the world over has become a huge cash cow and the attraction lies in its originality and the unique experience it offers. For this particular reason, we must applaud the idea and progenitors behind the Ibom Xmas Village.
The hallmark of a city's bustleness is usually evident in her end of the year itinerary. The sophistication and social contents of her celebrations are key here. The Ibom Christmas Village ranks top up is this regard.
In the absence of the usual Christmas glitz in the neighboring city of Calabar, the Ibom Xmas Village in Uyo has assumed the status of the signpost end of the year event in this clime and is growing by the day.
The village offers a real festive experience and has true potentials of becoming a major holiday festival in Africa. It offers the people of the city readily available, affordable pasttime, meet ups, hangout and social connects. These stuffs make a city what it is.
Beyond the fun routines, the economic benefits of the village are enormous. Stories abound of the big cash windfalls that partakers in the village were greeted with last year, the customers connect and the business opportunities the post event afforded them.
With nearly 1000 kiosks, the Ibom Christmas Village is a real experience, a tourism A-lister and a near perfect end of the year event. It is time we left all negative sentiments and embrace this high dreams, promote it with positive gusto and make Akwa Ibom the envy of other states in the federation.
