Martilda Chinekeokwu on Culture Cove

On this episode of Culture Cove, archaeologist and tourism professional Chidimma Martilda Chinekeokwu, also known as Lady Tilda, joins us for a thought-provoking exploration of how culture, heritage, and innovation shape tourism around the world.

We begin with the 68th Meeting of the UN Tourism Regional Commission for Africa (CAF), hosted in Abuja recently.

Next, to Turkey for the Istanbul Tulip Festival – a vibrant, month-long celebration of tulips blooming across the city’s parks, honoring the flower’s historical significance during the Ottoman Empire.

Finally, we move on to Namibia to learn about the deeply spiritual and cultural practice of the Himba people’s “birth songs”.
