In 2026, Nigeria hosted the National Tourism Safety and Security Technology Conference, focusing on advancements in travel safety and security within the country. This event brought together stakeholders to address important challenges affecting traveler protection and industry standards.
One of the key outcomes of the conference was the launch of the NASTREX initiative. This new program is designed to elevate safety protocols and increase confidence among travelers by targeting critical areas such as airports, hotels, and tour operators nationwide.
With the implementation of NASTREX, there is an expectation that safety conditions will improve for individuals traveling through Nigerian airports and
utilizing services offered by hotels and tour operators. The initiative seeks to standardize and strengthen security measures, contributing to a more secure travel environment across the country.
