Providus Bank PLC, a Nigerian financial services provider, and Travelport Nigeria, a travel retail platform, have reaffirmed their commitments to ensuring the success and hassle-free operations of TravelTank, a highly innovative best-in-class online travel agency.
Mr Walter Akpani, Managing Director of Providus Bank, said at the launch of the proudly Nigerian online travel agency: "Today, we are witnessing the launch of a product that we believe will change a whole lot in the way travel business is done in Nigeria, and I am happy to say that I am proud to be here as a partner." I am confident that TravelTank's cutting-edge products will assist and support us all in the way we plan and book our travel.”
He went on to say, "As a bank, we believe in the power of entrepreneurship." It is companies like TravelTank and its founder that demonstrate what we believe in and why we as a financial institution are willing and ready to support young entrepreneurial minds throughout the country. Given that Mr. Yemi Smith is an up-and-coming entrepreneur, we know that there are many more like him in this country, and you can be confident that Providus Bank is here to assist you.”
According to Yemi Smith, the Managing Director of TravelTank, the company was founded with a vision to provide opportunities for everyone to travel and a mission to make travel planning and booking quick, easy, and affordable for everyone.
He continued, "TravelTank is the result of extensive research into a sector that demonstrated very clearly that, despite the proliferation of online travel agencies in Nigeria, end-users still had reservations about purchasing online travel products."
In a statement, Mr. Samuel Akinola, Country Head of the Travelport Group in Nigeria, described TravelTank as a "innovative disruptor in the travel space" whose product offerings are unrivaled in the country. Also mentioned was the fact that Travelport Nigeria will go above and beyond in order to assist TravelTank.
Words from the Managing Director of TravelTank
Yemi Smith, Managing Director of TravelTank, provided the following statement to support the company's smart offerings that will be presented in a highly competitive industry: "As a company, and by God's grace, we foresee strong growth, particularly on our B2B platform, which allows TravelTank affiliates to sell travel products in a more personalised manner."
His remarks continued: "You are aware that initially when the world was hit by the pandemic, demand for travel was curtailed. The demand for travel products and travel in general is gradually increasing month by month, which is a welcome development. The fact that multiple approved vaccines are now available in many countries around the world, including Nigeria, gives us more reason to be optimistic about the future of our children.
“One indication of this is the relaxation of travel restrictions throughout the world. This gives us great excitement as we embark on our mission to make travel opportunities available to everyone,” he said in his conclusion.
