Investor Presentaiton
C.1
Develop priority sites that demonstrate potential (I/II)
Initiative objective
Develop market for tourism: prioritize sites for investment to attract tourists e.g., sites near Plateau
North
Develop critical infrastructure required to be support sector (water, power supply, roads, security)
Actions
C.1.1 Identify clustered, high-potential sites for potential investment
Survey potential sites for development (see back up slide) and create a list of ~5
priority sites and events to be developed to attract tourists. Prioritize based on
distance from Jos town and build further out. i.e. furthest places are lower
priority
Verify current ownership of sites and transfer ownership of gov't held sites from
the ministry to the tourism agency, and after prioritization, offer cash and
resettlement help to purchase sites currently held by individuals
Ensure specific tourist areas are included in the zoning law, and that the law is
gazetted, to prevent people from building on them
C.1.2 Build up infrastructure & services to support tourism activities

Roads and Transport, E.1)
Consistent and sufficient power supply (see initiatives E.4 and E.5)

Nigeria such as Golden Tulip, Tsogo Sun, Protea Hotels (by Marriott),
Wheatbaker etc. (See incentives in initiative 2)

sites
Link up tour groups with Operation Rainbow for additional security
