Delta Govt Issues Deadline For Tourism, Hospitality Operators To Renew Registration

The Delta State Government has issued a stern reminder to all operators within the state’s tourism and hospitality sector to regularize their registration and settle any outstanding renewal fees for the year 2025 without further delay.

In an official announcement released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Honourable Commissioner Dr. Darlington Nnamdi Ijeh emphasized that the directive applies to all establishments including hotels, motels, guest houses, restaurants, fast food outlets, tour operating companies, travel agencies, amusement parks, gardens, and nightclubs, among others.

The ministry warned that failure to comply with this directive would attract strict sanctions, which could include the sealing of non-compliant premises, in accordance with existing state laws and regulations.

“The cooperation of all stakeholders in ensuring full compliance is hereby solicited,” Dr. Ijeh stated.

“This notice serves as an official reminder to all concerned operators to update their registration with the Delta State Tourism Board.”
