PH City Creative Hangout: Driving the Tourism & Creative Economy


In response to the urgent need to sustain and deepen conversations around domestic tourism and the vast economic potential of the creative sector, the Rivers State Tourism Development Agency hosted the PH City Creative Hangout. This gathering brought together creative professionals, enthusiasts, and industry stakeholders from across Rivers State.
Representatives from Zenith Bank, Alternative Bank, Access Bank, Globus Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of Industry, Rivers State Microfinance Bank, Wider and Perspective Limited emphasized the importance of collaboration among creatives. They highlighted the need for proper documentation and well-structured pitch decks to ensure due diligence and access available funding opportunities to grow their businesses.
The event also received strong support from Now Travel and Tours, while LYNNMAX Travels & Tours generously awarded one lucky winner a free trip—an exclusive experience aboard Icon of the Seas, the world’s largest and most luxurious cruise ship.
12:11 and Casablanca Restaurants provided small chops and drinks to support the event.
We extend our deepest appreciation to His Excellency, Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara, whose unwavering commitment to the development of the creative economy and tourism continues to drive progress in the sector.
The PH City Creative Hangout was a pivotal platform focused on advancing a better Rivers economy through Arts, Tourism, Hospitality, and Entertainment.
