It’s official, Nigeria will host the 68th UN Tourism Commission for Africa (CAF 2025).

This major announcement came as Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Barr. Hannatu Musa Musawa, met with UN Tourism Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili for the formal signing of the hosting agreement.

A Big Win for Nigeria

This is more than a ceremonial handshake. It’s a strategic step forward.
CAF 2025, set for June 11–13, 2025, will gather top players from across Africa’s tourism, creative, and tech industries.

The Minister described the hosting opportunity as timely and transformational.

“This event will deepen collaboration, spotlight Nigeria’s creative economy, and push for sustainable tourism across Africa,” she said.

Tourism, Tech, and Creative Power Come Together

The summit will explore the theme: “Boosting the Social Impact and Education in Tourism through Innovation, AI, and the Creative Industries.”

In fact, this focus is especially important for Nigeria’s growing youth and creative population.

It links the power of storytelling, design, and digital innovation with sustainable development goals.

As a result, the event will not just shape policies. It will also unlock new partnerships and opportunities.

What’s in It for Nigerians?

From tech founders to cultural entrepreneurs, young creatives to tourism operators, Nigerians will be at the center of it all.

Furthermore, it’s a chance to reintroduce Nigeria to Africa and the world, on our own terms.

Nigeria is ready, the continent is watching and the countdown to CAF 2025 has begun.
