Active Tourism

engagement with Nature and mostly getting people to step out of their comfort zone, like walking in a
Reserve like Lekki Conservation Zone here in Lagos www.ncfnigeria.org , bird watching cycling or a
zumba dance on any of our beautiful Beaches . It is safe and without excessive physical demand.
Basically the idea for Active tourism is to encourage people stay fit while enjoying the beauty of tourism,

and the journey back home , then imagine this day in day out and how it affects the individual's health.
