The Covid-19 pandemic affected hotel and travel in the last two years as companies preferred to meet virtually rather than physically. However, the ease of lockdown protocols and other Covid-19 mandates has triggered a rebound in travel activities globally including in Nigeria.

This has now reflected in the 56% jump in travel spending year-on-year in the first quarter of 2022. Nigeria’s first-quarter GDP also reflects growth in both sectors. Accommodation services, which includes hotels grew by 1.93% while air travel rose 50% in the first quarter of the year respectively.

Upshots

Top on the list is United Bank of Africa (UBA) with N1.559 billion while the least is United Capital Plc (UCAP) which spent N9 million only on Hotel and Travel within the same period.
