Over the past decade, it is easy to argue that Cross River state has become more recognised for tourism and hospitality, maybe than anything else. The rise in urbanisation has also led to further investment in shopping centres, forming the foundation for local economic growth and a social sanctuary for window shoppers and fun-loving individuals.
