SPEECH BY DR. MUIB ABEEB OLOWO, PRESIDENT, TOURIST ADVENTURE CLUB (TAC), ON THE OCCASION OF THE CLUB’S FIRST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION AND WORLD TOURISM DAY
Distinguished Guests, Esteemed Members of the Tourist Adventure Club, Friends of Tourism, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today, we gather not only to celebrate the first anniversary of our dear club, the Tourist Adventure Club (TAC), but also to join the world in commemorating World Tourism Day. What a profound privilege it is that our journey as a club aligns with this global celebration of culture, adventure, and human connection.
When TAC was founded on August 27th, 2025, by a visionary and veteran broadcast journalist, Dr. Abiodun Muibi, the MD/CEO of Habimub Communications, it was born out of a dream — a dream to create a vibrant community of explorers, dreamers, and adventurers who believe in the power of tourism to inspire, to unite, and to transform lives. The club began humbly with five members, and though the journey was not without its challenges, today we proudly count over 80 committed members who are doing tremendously well.
Indeed, our first year has been one of growth, learning, and building. From the very beginning, we set out with a clear vision: to foster tourism and adventure as a means of relaxation, connection, networking, cultural exchange, and education. We believe strongly that “Travel and Tourism is Education”-an opportunity not only to see the world but to learn, to share, and to shape a better society.
In just one year, TAC has recorded remarkable achievements:
1. We have successfully organized five different hangouts, where members have embraced peace, unity, and friendship.
2. We held a lecture and symposium to enlighten members on the importance of world tourism and its principles, instilling in us the ideology of responsible global tourists.
3. We decorated seven important personalities-philanthropists, humanitarians, and business leaders-as Patrons of TAC. They have since been supporting us both morally and financially.
4. Most recently, the club was generously allocated a plot of land in Abeokuta by Malam Dr. Fatai Aro, for the construction of a modern and befitting clubhouse, which will stand as a symbol of our growth and legacy.
Tourism, at its very core, is about people. It is about bridging divides, breaking barriers, and building friendships across cultures and continents. In a world often torn apart by differences, tourism reminds us that we share one earth, one humanity, and one destiny.
As TAC, we stand as ambassadors of this truth. We are committed to promoting responsible tourism-tourism that respects cultures, preserves heritage, protects the environment, and empowers communities. We are not just tourists; we are custodians of experiences, guardians of heritage, and storytellers of tomorrow.
On this special day, I call on all our members and supporters to see TAC not just as a club but as a movement-a movement that will shape the narrative of tourism in Nigeria, Africa, and the world at large. The future of TAC is indeed bright. We envision expanding our reach, creating more opportunities for our members to travel, learn, and grow, while also contributing meaningfully to society.
As we celebrate today, let us remember that tourism is not about how far we travel but how deeply we connect. It is about the footprints we leave behind-not just in the sands of beaches or the trails of mountains-but in the lives of people and communities we touch.
On behalf of the Tourist Adventure Club, I rejoice with every tourist across the globe today. May we continue to explore, to dream, to discover, and to inspire the world through tourism.
Happy Anniversary to TAC!
Happy World Tourism Day to all!
Thank you, and may the adventure never end.
