Every city deserves a place where people can easily discover where to stay, what to eat, what to experience, and who to trust.
Large cities have multiple platforms that make this possible. Smaller cities often don't, and that creates a hidden challenge.

GOV AIYEDATIWA RENAMES THE DOME AFTER DR. OLUSEGUN MIMIKO
The Governor of Ondo State, His Excellency, Hon Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has renamed the International Centre for Culture and Events (The Dome), Akure, after former Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko.
Dr. Mimiko, who was governor between 2009 and 2017, built the facility during his tenure.
Governor Aiyedatiwa announced the renaming on Saturday, at the birthday celebration organised in honour of the former Governor in Abuja.
The Dome will henceforth be known as the Dr. Olusegun Mimiko International Centre for Culture and Events.

I am thrilled and honoured to be a panelist at HIT Conference 3.0 by The Phoenix Group.
We’ll be talking about how tourism grows when communities, local businesses, and digital systems work together. I look forward to contributing to the conversations.
The lack of digital accessibility means every invisible business is a missed economic opportunity, and every undiscovered experience is lost revenue for a local community.
Great destinations, businesses, and experiences don't create impact simply by existing. If people can't discover them, they can't visit, recommend, or support them.
"Discovery is what turns hidden value into real economic opportunity."
At Visit Akure, we help businesses become more visible, more discoverable, and easier to reach by locals and visitors alike.
Whether you own a hotel, restaurant, shortlet, shop, clinic, salon, gym, or provide any local service, now is the time to get listed.

Every city deserves a place where people can easily discover where to stay, what to eat, what to experience, and who to trust.
Large cities have multiple platforms that make this possible. Smaller cities often don't, and that creates a hidden challenge.
Visitors struggle to find reliable information, businesses struggle to be discovered, and opportunities are missed every day.
We believed Akure deserved better. So, instead of creating more content, we started building something more useful.
