The National Executive Council of the National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies (NANTA) has arrived in Accra, Ghana, for a seven-day retreat and familiarisation tour hosted by Safari World.
The delegation was received at Safari World Homes by the Chairman of the Safari World Group, Mr. Ernest Gyekye, who welcomed the executives and expressed delight at hosting them.
Gyekye assured the NANTA delegation of a memorable experience throughout their week-long stay, noting that the retreat would provide opportunities to explore Ghana’s tourism and hospitality offerings while strengthening collaboration between the travel industry stakeholders.

According to NANTA President, Mr. Yinka Folami, the retreat and fam trip is a strategic move to build stronger partnerships and working relationships across Africa.
“This mission is not a leisure trip,” Folami said. “It is a deliberate step to implement and expand our association’s marketing advocacy for Nigerian brands across borders.”
“Nigeria and Ghana share history, culture, trade and people. The future of our tourism cannot be built in silos,” he added.
“This retreat is about moving from policy to practice — creating real products, real partnerships, and real movement of travelers between Accra and Lagos.”
During the visit, the NANTA excos will hold strategic B2B meetings with Ghanaian counterparts, visit key tourism sites under the Safari World brand, and participate in cultural exchange activities.
The itinerary covers Safari World’s three flagship destinations:
*Accra* – Safari Homes
*Ada* – Aqua Safari riverfront experience, Safari Island Cruise, Safari Nautica, Safari Recreation & Sports
*Dawu* – Safari Valley Eco Resort and Safari Eco Park
Operating under the promise _“One World, Three Destinations, Over 20 Unique Experiences,”_ Safari World is using the visit to strengthen its presence in the Nigerian travel market while positioning Ghana as a leading destination for leisure, group travel, conferences, family holidays and premium tourism experiences.
A major highlight will be the *Executive Dinner on 21st July at Safari Valley Eco Resort*, bringing together key tourism stakeholders with a shared vision of advancing Ghana’s tourism industry and deepening Nigeria-Ghana travel trade.
The familiarisation visit is expected to equip NANTA’s leadership with first-hand knowledge of Safari World’s products, and to foster stronger travel packages and partnerships for Nigerian travelers.
