Bizman Seeks Enabling Environment For Hospitality Industry

An appeal has gone to
government to urgently  provide an enabling  environment for the country’s  hospitality industry to thrive in the  over all best interest of the society.
A Port Harcourt-based business magnate, Mr. Ernest Chiagorom who made the appeal in Port Harcourt in a chat with The Tide said such a move would help boost the nation’s wobbling  tourism industry and the economy.
Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer  of Chanhassen Lodge, a two-star hotel  situated  in Port Harcurt, said the hospitality industry was critical to the nation’s economic growth, insisting that the time has come for government to roll out a comprehensive plan of action that would encourage local investors to offer better services that would compare favourably with the industry in the developed world.
He said inadequate services offered by most hospitality outfits  in Rivers State gave impetus to the establishment  of the Chanhassen  Lodge at Rumuagholu to make a statement of excellence  and boost customer satisfaction and confidence more than ever before.
Chiagorom said though poor services rendered by  many outfits in the  hospitality industry had made it imperative for government to regulate the operations of the  industry, poor road network and erratic power supply remained the biggest challenges facing the industry.
He called on contractors handling the Rumuagholu road  project to expedite  action to enable motorists and  residents of the  area have a new lease of life.
