Africa’s largest online hotel booking platform, has received a certificate from the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to guard against money laundering and other financial crimes.This stamp of approval will ensure that customers and partners using the Jovago.com Web site are assured of the highest quality control on all financial transactions. Users can now easily book their hotels & pay online or at the hotel as the case may be.
The Commission, established in 2004 is empowered to prevent, investigate, prosecute and penalise economic and financial crimes and is charged with the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of other laws and regulations relating to economic and financial crimes in Nigeria.
Jovago.com has in the recent past initiated other strategic partnerships like becoming the official hotel partners of Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation to accelerate tourism in Nigeria and partnering with travel reviews site, TripAdvisor and hotel site aggregator, Skyscanner.
According to Marek Zmyslowski, MD of Jovago.com, “Nigeria is a thriving tourist destination with a large number of tourist sites and attractions. Our aim is to make these places easily accessible to everyone in Nigeria by making it very convenient for people to find and book good hotels online. This is why it was very important for us to get all the necessary certifications so that our customers are happy and comfortable booking their stays with us.”
