market place that connects people and travellers with quality accommodation and
exciting local experiences.

She said Aura is an ecosystem of unique modern and
tastefully furnished apartments with luxurious ambience, suitable for families,
singles, couples and a weekend getaway with friends and holiday.
According to her, “the launch of Aura by Transcorp Hotels
remains a bright spot for us, following a year where the hospitality sector was
severely affected by the pandemic.
“The pandemic affected our hospitality business in 2020,
with occupancy dropping to an all-time low of 5% during the year.
“But our innovation and resilience positioned us for work on
different initiatives, improving our leisure offerings, and activating our
asset-light strategy”, she said.
Mrs Ifeoma Okafor-Obi, Director of Business Development at
Transcorp Hotels, said that the platform is certain to become an integral part
of people’s lives.

stay, it is about living one’s best life and enjoying access to the best
experience at all touch points.
“Enjoyment on the platform, at the unique accommodation, the
great meals and memorable activities are all available on Aura, ” she said.
Aura by Transcorp Hotels was launched low-key in February,
but has now officially kicked off in major Nigerian cities, with plans to
expand throughout the country and other parts of Africa.
Through Aura, Transcorp Hotels Plc seeks to transform the
travel and tourism industry in Africa by focusing on three important components
of travel – where you stay, what you eat and how you spend your time, while
