What I want to canvass with all factuality in the main is “Hotel”. It is therefore, my driving force to canvass those industries that are similar and might be scarcely different in what that are performed in them whereas others in the list may present a world of varying performances in them. The list of these industries has in its embrace hotel, brothel, restaurant, eatery, buka and mama put.
My emphasis on the discussion set to be vertical as it is supposed to be in ascending sequence.
Coming on that list is ‘Mama Put’ whose nomenclature is derived from a seeming coming command yet, request for service for food either stationary on food on the wheel barrow. It may impliedly be said to be a make shift kitchen. The service has no menu, the consumption of any type of food is based on the quality a consumer would be able to pay for.
Whereas ‘Buka’ is not necessarily a make shift eating house, but an eating house that is low profiled with not all the hygienic precepts kept. It is a matter of anything can fill an empty stomach, bar decency and hygienic condition in which the food is prepared. These types of eating houses(Buka) are dominantly in rural areas.
The eatery is classificatory higher in status than Buka, but lower than a restaurant in comparison. This outfit is virtually designated for eating all kinds of food nothing more, not even with brewed drinks.
Coming in close order of consideration, the restaurant is though designated for eating, it can also permit drinking of brewed drinks. Though set out for the services of consumers with choice menu in a hygienic condition and good environment, it lacks certain apparatus. It rates lower than hotel in varying ways of consideration and application.
Our main delight in this seeming intriguing discourse is, and settles primarily on Hotel. I do not intend to go into what could be necessitation of Hotel, but may resort to mere definition not based on dictionary definition. I will hazard a personal definition of Hotel even if it is bereft of lexical standard in approach.
However, the pictorial view of EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS, Boji-Boji, Owa opposite Ogbemudein Model School, Agbor, headquarters of Ika South Local Government Area, Delta State has made the definition of Hotel visually picturesque. May be I talk about visual presentation, photography of the frontal view of EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS would define hotel distinctly well and appropriately presented. I could have canvassed the other outfit, ‘Brothel’, but, I considered its listing not conveniently in place and order in the list of others that have to do with eating, possibly belching flatulence whereas Brothel has to do with a place for sexual indecency.
Having listed Brothel(a home of sexual immorality),I return to canvass what Hotel is all about with its accompanying ‘Garden’. Anyone who knows the implication, application, connotations, dimension and aesthetics of Hotels and Gardens judging EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS on them would hastily agree with me and seen the reason why it has been selectively chosen for this discourse.
Is EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS contributing to Tourism Development?
In furtherance to any attempt to assert positively that EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS have the required characteristic parameters. It is pertinent to assess EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS on certain enabling criteria set out here under:
ACCESSIBILITY: EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS is centrally situated along the busy Old Lagos/Asaba Road not hidden but, cynosurally a clear view to behold in its floral garden. There is always gentle fresh air oozing around the whole place especially, in the adjoining garden and spacious enough with fresh air bath in the open for relaxation after tour.
AESTHETICISM:
The beauty of the layout of EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS, especially, the alluring, but restful colour that mats the structure is constantly an appealing invitation to tourists hitherto coming on board of this super structural edifice, it was for high profiled tourists to find lodging accommodation in the Boji-Boji metropolis. It is a big palm of hand to the husband and wife, Hon Chief Emmanuel Chukwuemeke Nwaebo and Chief Mrs Alice Nwaebo. The hotel is awash with many air conditioner-rooms with communication gadgets, television with gentle air, with refreshing music pervading the whole rooms.
EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS houses international standard world class luxury suites, apartments, restaurant and bar with uninterrupted flood light as power generating plant to take over immediately there is power outage.
A visit to the EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS would show the hygienic precept of “Cleanliness is next to Godliness”. The staff both boys and girls are immaculately clean in their dress code as well as in their exemplary character. At the reception, you are treated with a warm welcome by a lady whose face is always wearing a bed of rosy smiles to welcome guests in. Tourists who hear about this hotel noted for perfect services, pleasant pleasantries in excess take the hotel as their preference no doubt.
Foreigners preference, EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS have become not only Nigerian tourists but foreigners delight and preference as its pre-eminence and fame are snowballing beyond the confines of Nigeria not only within Delta State. What actually makes EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS continue to maintain unique difference in the list of Hotels in the cities.Like it is said that no investor would want to invest in a place where there is no security. In relativity,no tourist likes to check into a hotel where there is porous security.
Apart from the security consciousness of the staff and management, the whole premises of the edifice has Governor Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa’s solar lights extending to the neighborhood of the hotel thereby, permitting no hiding place for hoodlums sneaking into the premises.It is no hyperbole to state with empiricism that EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS with its adjoining events is contributing to the boosting of the revenue generations of Ika nation, Delta State and Nigeria in general.A classical case in point of recent was the conference of Evangelical Fellowship in Anglican Communion (EFAC) held at the premises of Ika Grammar School,Owa, Ika North East Local Government Area of the State. Men and women of high profile hurried to secure accommodation in EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS as a result of standard accommodation and quality services, prompt attention and affordability.
Guests who stayed in the hotel comfortability did a lot of business in the metropolis where money exchanged hands with rapidity, thus boosting the revenue generation of the people.
It is no gainsaying the fact that it is constant as the Nigerian Star according to known definite astrologer that EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS have come at the nick of time. The facility is contemporaneous with Senator Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa’s Urban Renewal Agenda.
Understandably, EZINNE HOTELS and GARDENS with its adjoining EZINNE EVENTS CENTER have not only contributed to tourism development, but have also made a serious and enduring Urban Renewal.
For this edifice of Urban Renewal Contributing to Tourism Development in a grand style, Hon Chief Mrs. Alice Nwaebo deserves profuse pat on the back with prayer for their desire to be fulfilled ultimately.
Hon Chief Nwaebo
