Online hotel booking platform, Jovago.com has announced a partnership with the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC) to boost Nigeria’s tourism industry.

Jovago said the partnership makes it the official hotel partner for the corporation and will ensure visitors to the NTDC’s website can find and book over 4,000 hotels across Nigeria already listed on Jovago, helping the NTDC promote Nigeria more effectively and also provide valuable content for the official Nigerian tourism website.

Sally Mbanefo, director-general of the NTDC, said: “We are very keen on this new partnership with Jovago.com. Not only is it targeted at promoting Nigeria’s thriving tourism sector and exhibiting the country’s potentials to Nigerians and the world at large, it also makes it easy for anyone visiting the official NTDC website to choose from the wide selection of hotels available on Jovago.com.”

Jovago said it will also be providing NTDC with online marketing expertise required to help boost tourism in Nigeria, one of the main goals of the NTDC.

Marek Zmyslowski, managing director of Jovago, said: “Nigeria is a thriving tourist destination with a large number of tourist sites and attractions. Our aim is to make these places easily accessible to everyone in Nigeria by making it very convenient for people to find and book good hotels online.”
