Lifewalk Travels, Grandeur Travels and Triplisters Limited have been named beneficiaries of the NewBrandsXPO (NBX) – South African Airways (SAA) Exhibition Support towards participation at the NewBrandsXPO holding at the Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos on 19th and 20th July 2019.

The three emerging businesses were selected via an open and transparent application process and they will be showcasing their unique travel products and services at the South African Airways pavilion of this year’s exhibition and workshop.

Regional Manager, West, North and Central Africa, SAA, Ohis Ehimiaghe, while speaking at the unveiling, said, “Lack of mentorship and inadequate exposure are among the major challenges that start-up companies and emerging businesses face.”

“As part of our commitment to the growth of the Nigerian travel industry, we are happy to facilitate the participation of these budding agencies at the NewBrandsXPO to give them much needed exposure, and pleased to welcome them into our year-long business mentorship programme, designed to help them stay competitive and profitable,” he added.

It is a member of the largest international airline network, Star Alliance.

NewBrandsXPO on the other hand is a one-stop shop for organisations seeking to launch new products and services in-market, and get instant feedback.

It is promoted by Heventin, a corporate event and brands activation company and Uburu, an integrated marketing communications consultancy
