Travel Inn Booking Portal, a recent entrant in Nigeria’s travel industry, has brought its innovative offerings and commitment to sustainable tourism to Lagos, Nigeria’s economic capital. In its encompassing bid to redefine the travel booking experience in Nigeria, Travel Inn is looking to simplify travel processes and arrangements for tourists and air passengers.
Launched recently in Lagos, Travel Inn is already making waves for its unique services, including an exclusive airport drop-off service for international clients. At the Launch of Travel Inn in Lagos, Oma Nnorom, Founder of Travel Inn Booking, highlighted the portal’s distinctive offerings, emphasising that the complimentary airport drop-off service for international travellers sets the platform apart from other booking portals in the market. Nnorom noted that this feature is designed to enhance client convenience and introduce a new level of competition in the travel sector.
“Today, we have launched our travel flight booking portal, where clients can book flights on the go and make payments seamlessly. We are offering exclusive airport drop-off services for international travellers as part of our commitment to making travel stress-free,” Nnorom stated. She added, “We are also promoting our green project, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative that focuses on sustainable tourism. While promoting tourism, we must also ensure its sustainability by raising awareness about ocean cleanups and recycling initiatives.”
Industry experts have warmed up to Travel Inn’s innovations, describing the platform as a game-changer. Aviation professional Alhaji Nuhu Adam commended the platform’s integration of travel, tourism, and environmental responsibility, calling it a “complete package.” Adam also highlighted the company’s plans to collaborate with the Lagos State Government to further environmental awareness initiatives.
Similarly, environmental scientist Prof. Evidence Akhayere lent a voice to Travel Inn’s green tilt, underscoring the urgent need for better waste management practices, especially regarding plastics. Akhayere lamented the lack of government-led awareness campaigns about the environmental hazards posed by plastics.
“Bottles and plastics remain a huge threat to the environment and do not decompose. If we cannot dispose of them properly, we should stop using them,” he said. Akhayere’s comments align with Travel Inn’s efforts to advocate for eco-friendly tourism practices in Nigeria.

Tayo Orisadare, Managing Director of Metro Aviation, also dropped insights, stressing the importance of general aviation in enhancing tourism. He highlighted how general aviation, which includes private and chartered flights, plays a crucial role in accessing remote areas and boosting high-value tourism. “General aviation offers about 4.2 million jobs globally, and over 40,000 aircraft are involved in this sector. For Nigeria to unlock its tourism potential, we need to improve infrastructure to enable general aviation to thrive,” Orisdare noted.
Similarly, Toni Ukachukwu, Publisher of Aviators Africa, emphasised the importance of sustainable tourism practices. Speaking on “Sustainable Tourism and Environmental Responsibility,” Ukachukwu urged Nigerians to adopt sustainable habits at home and explore eco-tourism to promote responsible tourism. He added that eco-tourism could significantly enhance Nigeria’s reputation as a global travel destination while preserving its natural resources.
Travel Inn’s entry into the market is perfectly timed, aligning with the rising demand for seamless travel experiences and sustainable tourism. With its unique offerings, including flight bookings, free airport drop-offs, and a focus on environmental responsibility, the platform is poised to become a leader in Nigeria’s travel industry. For African travel agents, Travel Inn presents an opportunity to attract eco-conscious travellers and those seeking convenience in their travel arrangements.
By integrating sustainability into its business model, Travel Inn differentiates itself from its peers. It aligns with global trends in tourism, where environmental responsibility is becoming a key consideration for travellers. This launch signals a new era for Nigeria’s travel and tourism industry, with a platform prioritising customer convenience and environmental consciousness in equal measure.
Travel Inn’s launch of its next-gen booking portal offers a much-needed boost to Nigeria’s travel tech sector. By integrating exclusive perks and sustainable tourism initiatives, Travel Inn sets a new standard for travel platforms in Nigeria, encouraging innovation and competition.
Plus, the platform’s focus on combining travel, tourism, and environmental sustainability represents a holistic approach not commonly seen in Nigerian travel tech, potentially inspiring other startups to adopt similar models. This innovation could attract more users to digital booking, accelerating the adoption of travel tech solutions and improving overall sector efficiency.
More so, Travel Inn’s enhanced travel convenience and sustainability focus can increase tourist inflows, benefiting airlines, hotels, and local businesses and thus stimulating Nigeria’s tourism economy. The platform’s comprehensive approach—linking travel bookings with tourism development and environmental care—can help build a resilient, future-ready travel ecosystem in Nigeria.
