The 2016 Akwaaba African Travel Market has come and gone. The event which took place at the prestigious Eko Hotels Convention Center, Lagos from 30th October to 1st November, attracted high profile dignitaries and participants from the Aviation, Travel, Hospitality and Tourism industry.
To make sure the memories of the event live with us for a long time, at least until the next edition, The Afritraveller was there and came back with these memories.
