Konga has stepped up diversification of its product offerings with the launch of Konga Travel, a technology-driven, revolutionary travel booking agency to disrupt the Nigerian market with a suite of best-priced flight deals for all categories of air travellers.
However, the new scheme is standing out amongst others with its innovative Omni-channel operations – online @ travel.konga.com and in every Konga store nationwide.
Ahead of the launch, the firm had earlier sealed partnership with Visa, the world’s leader in digital payments, to deliver a digitally-driven and rewarding payment experience for customers who book flights on Konga Travel when they pay with Visa.
The offer, which covers all categories of travel including Leisure travel, Business travel, Domestic travel and foreign travel, will see the issuance of a Visa prepaid card to customers who book their flight on Konga Travel, which will enable them to make payments with ease while traveling.
Among the mouth-watering deals that await prospective travellers are best price offers for flights to locations including Dubai, London, Johannesburg, New York, Abidjan and Accra, among others, as well as special offers for domestic flights on Arik Air and other airlines available on request at the assistance of the Konga Travel support team.
Business Hilights further gathered that the new package is in addition to the option of paying through KongaPay, a highly secure, Central Bank of Nigeria-licensed e-wallet which will expectedly lend further ease and convenience to the payment process.
Besides, customers who book flights on Konga Travel also have the unique opportunity of enjoying a revolutionary experience by walking into any Konga retail store nationwide to book their flights, pay and collect their flight orders.
In his remarks, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Konga Group, Nick Imudia, said “With the launch of Konga Travel, we have taken another huge step towards offering more value, ease and convenience to all categories of air travellers in Nigeria and beyond.”
He averred that “In real terms, only a small proportion (about 13%) of Nigerian air travelers currently book travel products online – a poor statistic for a country boasting a population grossing over 190 million. The launch of Konga Travel will go a long way in correcting this anomaly, especially by capturing more Nigerians in the travel booking net”.
