Travel services giant, WakaNow confirmed its industry first eleven status as it promises to support the upcoming National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies (NANTA) Annual General Meeting, slated for the last week of March.
The top ranking travel trade outfit, which has over years ramped its services profile, brushing aside developmental challenges, took up a chunk of support baseline for NANTA, its mother regulatory body, to ensure the Kano 46th conclave of the association, lives up to the billing as the biggest gathering of industry players on the West Coast of Africa.
NANTA’s President Mrs Susan Akporiaye who confirmed the support initiative from the management of wakaNow, says the gesture is a moral booster to efforts by the association to organise a signature elective meeting in the history of the biggest travel and tourism trade group in Nigeria, adding that time has come for NANTA top players to rally round their iconic association in the quest to remain at the top of industry ranking.
She said: “We got this far in the history of the association because our high up and inspiring members went out of their way to support the growth of the association. We are happy, that WakaNow has upped the call and no doubt, our best 11 players are expected to come out big, as the association goes for the best traditional outing in Kano in few weeks’ time” she explained.
The Kano gathering with theme” Antitrust: Opportunities Available To The Nigerian Travel Market”, will also feature trade exhibitions, mini Durbar and networking with high net worth multi national and local investment groups and airlines big wigs, also a gala night showcasing the best of Nigerian music and hospitality.
