After many years of demonstrating clearly that they cannot find solution to the challenges of tourism development in Plateau state, the tourism organizers in Plateau state have again received greater insight, inspiration and direction from the organisers of the annual “Tour Plateau” led by Mr. Christopher Agwom Azok on how to effectively package tourism products and make the industry in the state count and become distinctive and prominent. This very important direction was openly displayed when the third edition of Tour Plateau, tagged Tour Plateau 2024 took off on a very resounding note in Jos, the Plateau State Capital.
Tour Plateau, a carefully designed, well packaged and excitingly unique, very captivating and engaging tourism product introduced roughly four years ago in Plateau state has made far reaching incursions, considered outstanding and responsive to the needs of the tourism industry in the state.
A barrier breaking result achieved by Tour Plateau in the tourism industry in Plateau state is the dismantling of the challenges associated with working together through networking, collaborations and, partnerships. A practical indicator to this is the number of organizations that have always teamed up to execute the annual Tour Plateau event since it's inception about four years ago.

Most of the enthusiastic participants of the tour, especially the collaborators alluded to the claim above and the basis of that appreciated the CEO of Think Tourism Nigeria, Mr. Christopher Azok, the initiator of Tour Plateau and team lead of the collaboration efforts.
On their part, the obviously keen observers of the brief flag off ceremony that signalled the official unveiling and commencement of the “Tour Plateau 2024” activities noted that they were not only elated but carried away by what they witnessed. The flag off ceremony and take off activities of the tour took place at the state secretariat junction on Friday 27th, December 2024.
History, adventure and recreation featured prominently among the unique contents that defined the tour. As always observed in Tour Plateau events, redefining the tourism industry in Plateau state by injecting tourism oriented agenda setting packages, garnished with highly engaging practical sessions designed to impact life meaningfully remained the driving force of the tour, while reclaiming the status of Plateau state as the tourism hub in Nigeria is the ultimate goal. Similarly, positioning Plateau state unflinchingly as the sort after, tourist destination and Tour Plateau as the friendliest tourists’ Product in the globe are the core targets of the tour.
