The award, according to the organizers, African Travel Quarterly, is in recognition of the company’s exceptional achievements and contribution to the travel and tourism industry in Nigeria, particularly in the field of Outbound tour operation.

The organisers further states that Diamonds and Pearls Travel has been found worthy of their selection dut to its unwavering dedication to excellence and innovative approach, as a trailblazer in the field of Outbound Travel.

The company received the award on Spetember 3, 2023 at the 19th Akwaaba African Travel Market which was held at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.

Reacting to the award, co-founder of the Travel company, Mrs Wonuola Olatunde-Lamidi has this to say: “For us at Diamonds and Pearls Travels, we are extremely grateful to God for this recognition. We received this same award from ATQ News in 2022.

“When we receive awards, it means that people are watching us and our activities and actions mean something in the Nigerian travel ecosystem. It shows that we are doing a great job, it is also a reward for our hard work and sweat. For us, there is a bigger picture which is that, we cannot remain on the same level. We have to improve and do better than before.

” We must keep reinventing our brand, creating more travel products and we have to continue demystifying travel and open up new destinations for the Nigerian traveller. This also calls for expansion as we now have more customers from different parts of Nigeria and the world, requesting to join our group trips which is a travel product that is unique to us.

“Over the years, God has given us the grace to gather strangers who travel together, bond and have fun. We have customers flying out of Lagos and Abuja regularly for tourism, we are looking to expand into Port Harcourt and Kano.

“We are also experts in organising destination events like weddings, birthdays, company retreats and meetings. This is one area that we are looking to expand.

” In all, we give glory to God and look forward to more satisfied customers and fruitful years.”

Wonuola Olatunde-Lamidi is a multi award-winning Tour Operator who formed Diamonds and Pearls Travels with her husband, David Olatunde Lamidi in October 2010.
