The Chief Executive Officer of RE360 Agent Development Limited, Elisha Olorunda, says Nigeria’s travel industry is grappling with a critical structural gap that continues to expose citizens to fraud, visa denials and financial losses. Speaking on the state of international travel advisory services in the country, Olorunda said the absence of a structured and professional travel consulting ecosystem has weakened Nigeria’s global competitiveness and damaged its international credibility. He said, “Structured travel consulting is not merely an industry upgrade; it is a strategic necessity. That is how travel consulting becomes a national development tool.”RE360 Agent Development Limited, Olorunda’s platform, focuses on training and certifying travel agents, with an emphasis on ethics, international best practices and consumer protection. Olorunda also highlighted the need for strategic partnerships between government agencies and professional travel consulting bodies.
