“I will recommend Ghana as a more preferable destination for weddings because it’s much cheaper in terms of cost and much closer in terms of distance – a flight to Ghana from Nigeria is approximately about an hour compared to Nigeria to Dubai which is 6 hours on average.”
This disclosure was made by the newly appointed MD of Jumia Travel Nigeria, Omolara Adagunodo at the just concluded Akwaaba Travel Market which held for 3 days at Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos. Adagunodo was on a panel discussion which dissected the topic: “Destination Weddings As A Tourism Product: Famous Honeymoon Spots Nigerians Visit.”
For Ghana, Adagunodo said, holding weddings in choice locations in the country is preferable due to cost of flying guests compared to Dubai which seems to be more prominent for weddings than Ghana. She emphasized the importance of promoting tourism within Africa. According to her, Africa is still really lagging behind in terms of deriving substantial income from tourism.
