Jovago Celebrates First Anniversary in West Africa

Africa’s largest online hotel booking platform Jovago.com, celebrates first anniversary in Western Africa. With the backing of investors like MTN and Millicom, a great passion for Africa and its partnership with 20,000 hotels across the continent Jovago eases the process of hotel reservation.

Jovago.com, Africa’s No.1 booking portal facilitates the booking process for its users to provide them the best possible hotel booking experience, with fast, transparent and easy-to-use services. Having over 250 employees in Africa and their local presence in strategic cities in West Africa – Dakar, Abidjan and Douala amongst others, allows closer assessment of the needs specific to the region and creation of solutions to target them as was the case of online payment.

With over 4,000 hotels in West Africa (and 800 hotels in Senegal), Jovago takes pride in its ability to provide an important link between hotels in Africa and a vast world of opportunities – offering even the most remote hotels a greater access to the world, than they could have thought possible through its online portal.

“We are very proud of what we have achieved in a year and Jovago aims to be a major player in the travel of people in West Africa” said Xavier Starkloff, Jovago’s Managing Director for West Africa during the celebration which was held in Dakar (Senegal) on Monday 9th of March 2015. “Developing tourism in West Africa is a long-term process involving not just Jovago but also hotel owners and tourism-related authorities” said again Xavier Starkloff.

As a pioneer in Africa, Jovago has over 20,000 local hotel listings across the continent and over 200,000 hotels around the world. These personally verified hotel listings in Africa cater to business and pleasure travellers alike, enabling a hassle-free procedure with the aim of benefiting customers through the use of internet.
