Finchglow Travels has strengthened its standing in Africa’s travel and tourism industry after securing two major industry recognitions within eleven days, including being named Travel Agency of the Year at the Africa Tourism Awards 2026.
The Nigerian travel consolidator emerged overall winner at the awards ceremony held on November 1, 2026, at the Hilton London Canary Wharf, United Kingdom, beating nine other shortlisted travel agencies representing eight African countries.
The Travel Agency of the Year award recognises excellence in professional travel advisory, reliable service delivery, sales performance and customer satisfaction. Winners were selected through a combination of expert panel assessment, industry peer evaluation and public voting.
The recognition came barely eleven days after Finchglow Travels received the Award of Excellence for “Consistent Partnership” from international carrier, Virgin Atlantic, on October 22, 2026, in acknowledgement of its sustained business relationship with the airline.
The two awards underscored the company’s growing industry profile, commitment to service excellence and strategic partnerships with key players in the global aviation and travel sector.
Speaking on the achievements, Managing Director of Finchglow Travels, Ezekiel Ikotun, described the recognitions as a reflection of the company’s dedication to delivering quality services and building enduring relationships with customers and industry partners.
“These recognitions are a testament to the dedication of our people, the trust of our clients and the strength of our industry partnerships. We remain committed to raising service standards and contributing meaningfully to the growth of travel and tourism across Africa”, Ikotun said.
The Africa Tourism Awards recognition represents a significant achievement for Finchglow Travels, considering the competitive field of nominees drawn from different countries across the continent. Its emergence as the overall winner further highlights the company’s growing visibility and contribution to Africa’s travel market.
