ASKY, in collaboration with Jambojet, announced an exciting familiarization trip to Kenya, aimed at boosting traffic and tourism to this beautiful East African country renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage. This initiative is part of ASKY’s continuous efforts to promote Kenya as a premier tourist destination and enhance the travel experience using its airline services.
The familiarization trip is taking place between June 04th and June 11th and includes key tour operators and some top-selling agents from across ASKY’s network. The selected participants will have the unique opportunity to explore Kenya’s diverse attractions, from the stunning savannahs to the pristine beaches of Mombasa, and the vibrant urban life of Nairobi.
The journey will also be facilitated by Jambojet, ASKY’s partner within Kenya, ensuring seamless travel experiences across the country. The two airlines have recently entered into a code share partnership following the launch of Asky’s flights from Lome to Nairobi.
The itinerary includes stays at some of the selected partner hotels, such as the EKA Hotel in Naiobi, which offers exceptional hospitality and comfort to their guests.
Through this initiative, ASKY expects the selected agents to gain firsthand experience of Kenya’s tourism offerings, enabling them to better promote the destination within their market segments. By leveraging the services of ASKY and Jambojet, the fam trip aims to create greater awareness and drive tourism growth to Kenya.
Currently, ASKY operates three weekly services from its hub of Lomé, connecting Nairobi to other 26 destinations across West, Central, and Southern Africa. This extensive network allows them to provide convenient and efficient travel options for tourists heading to Kenya.
ASKY extends their gratitude to all their partners involved in this journey, including Jambojet, the EKA Hotel, SATGURU Travels and the various tour operators and agents participating in this familiarization trip. Their support and collaboration are invaluable to the success of this initiative and to the broader goal of enhancing tourism in Kenya.
West African’s need no VISA to travel to Kenya but have to obtain an electronic travel permit before their flight, which is available online.
