Wakanow, a travel technology company, has partnered Akwaaba African Travel Market on its 21st event.
The event is slated to hold from September 14 to 16 in Lagos.

A statement by the organiser of the three-day event, Ikechi Uko, said at least 3,000 participants from across the continent, including tourism boards, airlines, travel companies, hoteliers and key industry stakeholders, would participate in the exhibition and conference.

He stated that the partnership underscored Wakanow’s continued commitment to driving seamless travel experiences and advancing the growth of tourism in Africa.

According to him, Wakanow has been at the forefront of innovative travel solutions since its founding in 2008.

As a Carlyle Group portfolio company, having secured significant investments over the years from global and African partners, Wakanow has expanded its footprint across multiple countries, including Ghana, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kenya, South Africa, the United States and Canada, among others.

He said: “Through groundbreaking initiatives such as WakaPoints (its loyalty program), PaySmallSmall (a travel financing solution) and WakaEvents (an event ticketing platform), Wakanow continues to redefine convenience and value in travel.

“Its services cut across flight bookings, hotel reservations, visa assistance, tour packages, and travel advisory, making it the trusted platform for travel enthusiasts across Africa and beyond.”
