Discover Anambra: Where Heritage Meets Hospitality
Welcome to the Anambra State Ministry of Tourism — your gateway to exploring the rich cultural heritage, vibrant festivals, and investment opportunities across our beautiful state. We are dedicated to promoting sustainable tourism, regulating hospitality standards, and preserving our unique traditions for generations to come.
What We Do
The Ministry of Tourism delivers a range of services to promote, regulate, and develop tourism across Anambra State.
We identify, develop, and market tourist attractions including the Ogbunike Caves, Agulu Lake, and Igbo-Ukwu archaeological sites to boost domestic and international visitation.
We set and enforce standards for hotels, guest houses, and lodges to ensure safe, comfortable, and quality accommodation for visitors across the state.
We safeguard Anambra’s rich intangible heritage — from the Ofala Festival to Iriji (New Yam) celebrations — through documentation, promotion, and support for traditional institutions.
We guide investors through the process of establishing tourism ventures — from eco-lodges to cultural centres — offering incentives and one-stop support.
We plan, coordinate, and promote major events such as the Anambra Tourism Expo, Awka Carnival, and local community festivals to drive cultural tourism.
We train, certify, and license professional tour guides who offer accurate, engaging, and safe experiences for visitors at all tourism sites.
