Speaking at the launch of the proudly Nigerian online travel
agency, Managing Director, Providus Bank, Mr Walter Akpani said: “Today we are
witnessing the launch of a product that we believe is going to change a whole
lot in how travel business is done in Nigeria and I am happy to say that I am
proud to be here as a partner. I strongly believe that TravelTank’s innovative
products will support and assist us all in how we plan and book our travels.”
He continued: “For us, as a bank, we believe in
entrepreneurship. TravelTank and its Founder are examples of what we believe in
and why as an institution the bank is willing and ready to support young entrepreneurial
minds in the country. As Mr Yemi Smith is a young entrepreneur, we know we have
many more like him in this country and you can rest assured that Providus bank
is here to support you.”
According to the Managing Director, TravelTank, Yemi Smith,
the company was launched with a vision to provide travel opportunities for
everyone and a mission in making travel planning and booking quick, easy, and
affordable for everyone.
“TravelTank is a product of exhaustive research on a sector
which showed very clearly that even with the array of online travel agencies in
Nigeria, end-users still had reservations in purchasing online travel
products,” he added.
Country Head, Travelport Nigeria, Mr Samuel Akinola
described TravelTank as an innovative disruptor in the travel space whose
product offerings are unmatched in Nigeria. He also noted that Travelport
Nigeria will go the extra mile to support TravelTank.
Buttressing on TravelTank’s smart offerings set to be presented in a highly competitive industry, Managing Director, TravelTank, Yemi Smith submitted: “As a company, and by God’s grace, we foresee strong growth especially on our B2B platform which allows TravelTank affiliates to sell travel products in a more personalised manner.”
He stated further: “You know initially when the world was
hit by the pandemic, demand for travel halted. Thankfully, we are now seeing a
gradual month-on-month increase in the demand for travel products and travel in
general.
This coupled with the multiple approved vaccines now
available in many countries around the world including Nigeria, makes us more
positive for the future.
“Testament to this is the lessening of travel restrictions
around the world. This makes us very excited as we begin our quest in creating
travel opportunities for everyone,” he concluded.
