What kind of improvement do you think is needed to increase the visibility of foreign tourist there?
Enough facilities should be provided some facilities are worn out and as such it should be replaced with new ones. Sometimes they road to access this places is not good and as such as accessibility is difficult. Another one is the development of advertisement platforms. Media publicity should be encouraged so as to make the tourist attraction known.
Do you know any spots that is not yet known to everyone but has the potential to become a popular tourist attraction in the future?
Yes actually writing this post I did a survey and asked wether they have heard of ibeno beach but y was surprised at their response. So Ibeno beach is a beach that is located Akwa Ibom state Nigeria. And as such not everyone knows if this place. But it has a unique features this beach leads to Atlantic Ocean as well I knew that when I visited it years ago. But yet not everyone knows of this place.

I guess you're living in my country Nigeria and you've highlighted the two popular tourist spot we have. Obudu cattle ranch and Aso rock is so popular, especially Aso rock where our president mostly visit during his tour with family.
I don't think that place is mainly for people in high position, if I'm to visit any of those places I'll prefer obudu cattle ranch.
Talking about Ibeno beach, it's already a place people visit for tourism. If you check my post, you'll find my uncle who visited there after his NYSC to spend some time and enjoy the sand beach with his friends.
I enjoy reading your entry. Goodluck wishes 💌
To me I would love to visit Obodu cattle ranch too. Thank you so much for reading my post. I really appreciate.
