ATQ NEWS NAMES AFRICA’S TOP TOUR OPERATORS AHEAD OF #AKWAABA2018
Go Places Africa DMC was listed among Africa’s Top 100 Tour Operators. Organizers of the Africa Top 100 Tour Operators have announced that more winners have emerged from 17 African countries for the awards which would hold at the 14th Akwaaba African Travel Market at Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos from 9th to 11th September 2018.
The new winners bring the list to a total of 90. Speaking about the Africa Top 100 Tour Operators, the Founding member of the #TeamAfrica, Mr. Ikechi Uko, who is also the Organiser of Akwaaba African Travel Market expressed his excitement about the awards as he also shed light on the award for the Africa Top 100 Tour Operators. In his words, “Last year we celebrated the awards of the Africa Travel 100 Women at the 13th Akwaaba Travel Market. During that event, top of the Class, great and industrious women who have established themselves in and are still driving the growth of travel business from across Africa gathered in Lagos for that memorable Africa Travel 100 Women awards. The resounding reception, feedback and transformation that event set forth in Africa coupled with the massive acceptance we received from every country in Africa and beyond was great. Today many Countries have set up Women in Tourism organisations and we are proud to have helped set it off.
Our vision is to stimulate Intra Africa Tourism. We need to get at least 10% of Africans to travel within Africa. This can only work with the support of Tour Operators. We are going a step further this year to recognize and celebrate the core professional outbound Tour Operators who are at the fore of attracting and moving Africans outside their own countries to explore the abundance of the beauties of our Africa. Africa remains a great goldmine whose tourism potentials remain unmatched and untapped‘.
The Africa Top 100 Tour Operators award is put together by ATQ News, a foremost online travel news portal in Africa in partnership with Akwaaba African Travel Market.
