IN its determination to revolutionise travel businesses in Nigeria, Flyzone Tourism has strategically explore avenue to streamlining visa processes and connecting Nigerian travel agents with global tourism boards.
The Principal Executive of Flyzone Tourism, Mr Awomoyi Ayodeji, who disclosed this in an interview at the sideline of Akwaaba African Travel Market held in Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos attributed the company’s success to its extensive network and relationships with tourism boards worldwide.
According to Ayodeji “Flyzone Tourism, established in 2018, leverages its extensive network and relationships with tourism boards worldwide to simplify visa applications for Nigerian travel agents. With over 8,900 agents in its database, Flyzone has expanded its services to Kenya and Dubai through franchise partnerships.
“We also streamlined visa processes for destinations like Rome and collaboration with governments.
“We are also working with governments now. We want to start working with governments in the long-run. We’re in Enugu together. Another person took me to Kano. And it’s still about the visas. Because if you don’t stay in your niche, what you have known for years, it’s hard to build trust.
“We have a high level of trust and honesty in Flyzone Tourism. We will not tell you what we cannot do. That’s why we don’t do everything.
On Akwaaba African Travel Market and the impact on Flyzone, Mr Ayodeji explained “The first thing is that there is no business without connections. By connections, I mean meeting people one-on-one. You can have a product, but if people don’t know about it, then it won’t go anywhere. That’s why I used to say that even a poorly marketed bad product will sell more than a well-made but poorly marketed good product.
“So, Akwaaba has helped travel agencies, airlines, hotels, and tour operators to connect with each other. People might not know about all these airlines and hotels, but because they are here, they get to know each other.
“Akwaaba is a platform that brings different tourism brands, embassies, tour operators, and travel agents together.
Ayo praised Akwaaba’s role in fostering industry connections. “Akwaaba brings tourism brands, embassies, tour operators, and travel agents together, creating growth opportunities.”
Speaking on his award, Ayodeji said he was just Inducted as an Ambassador by the ECOWAS Youth Council recently.
According to him “This is connected to my laudable antecedents of dedication and diligence in the area of service to humanity and commendable works as an advocate and relentless crusader of promoting development of the African youth.”
