Wakanow takes commercial operations to UK
Africa’s online tourism giant, Wakanow is set to formally launch commercial operations in the United Kingdom.
The online travel company said the move is a step towards its global expansion plan.
Speaking ahead of the launch which is slated for March this year, Obinna Ekezie, Founder and Group Managing Director, Wakanow, said the new addition to the travel brand would allow the company to serve the European markets and demonstrate its capacity to compete favorably on the global stage.
Ekezie said: “We are very delighted about the forthcoming launch of Wakanow UK, and this excitement stems from our conviction that this addition has the capacity to offer something different to the European market when it comes to travelling into Africa.
“Our protocol service into Africa is built on very strong relationships and will ensure our prospective customers get the most hitch-free and hassle-free movement in and out of the continent.
“Wakanow has honed her skills in African travel over the last 8 years and will bring that to bear in not only offering best priced deals but making sure that her interactions with these travelers will deliver a more positive narrative for African businesses”
Ekezie explained that, the Wakanow UK launch will herald the opening of several other Wakanow offices across Africa. “With Wakanow Kenya and Wakanow South Africa already under way, riding on the back of advanced technology, Wakanow will ‘switch on’ her online booking portals in six other African countries including Uganda, Rwanda, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Tanzania. Other countries include Dubai and the US,” he added.
Wakanow recently launched DestinationsAfrica(R), a global booking platform that aggregates the best of African packaged holidays from over 23 African countries. (Vanguard)
