Ghana’s foremost online travel agency, Wakanow, and Dodi Travel and Tours have jointly launched an ultramodern travel centre christened Wakanow Affiliate Hub in Kumasi.
The centre which is the first of its kind in the Metropolis and located at Asokwa, is fully equipped to provide training in the hospitality industry and is also a place where airline tickets can be purchased and other travel advisory services offered.
Wakanow is Ghana’s foremost online travel agency, offering various flight advisory services, hotel booking, visa assistance, travel insurance, holiday and tour packages, and protocol services, among others.
It is known for offering the best travel deals via digital and offline channels that are unobtainable elsewhere.
The West Africa Regional Director for Wakanow, Madam Sodie Osei-Bonsu, said the opening of its branch in Kumasi was conceived seven years ago. She was hopeful that the partnership with Dodi Travel and Tours would ensure ease and convenience for the travelling public.
Director of Dodi Travel and Tours, Mr. Ahmed Naamann explained that the decision to partner with Wakanow is to help train and equip the youth with the requisite skills to make them self-reliant and ready for the technology-driven market.
The Assistant Commissioner of Immigration in charge of Ashanti Region, Mr. Constance Boateng, commended the two organisations for their collaboration on the feat.
”This would help prospective travellers access credible travel advisory.”
The Chief of Asokwa, Nana Fe-Bamoah called for more of such partnerships among travel and tour agencies.
