Bon Voyage Travel Agency Limited (BVT) has been named Nigeria’s Leading Travel Management Company 2026 by the World Travel Awards (WTA). The recognition comes as the company marks 51 years in Nigeria’s travel industry and prepares for its next phase of growth.
Founded in 1975 by Mrs Loretta Smith, BVT has grown from a traditional travel agency into a travel management company serving more than 200 corporate clients across financial services, government agencies, oil and gas, and other sectors.
The award comes as corporate travel management increasingly depends on technology, responsiveness, and international connectivity. Through its partnership with ATPI (a world leader in corporate travel management), BVT combines local market expertise with access to an international travel management network.
The company is IATA accredited and books through the Amadeus and Travelport global distribution systems. In addition to serving corporate clients directly, BVT operates as a travel service consolidator, giving other travel agencies access to its infrastructure, technology platforms and global network.
Yemi Smith, Managing Director of Bon Voyage Travel, said the recognition validates the company’s long-standing focus on creating value for clients. “This award belongs to our clients, whose confidence has shaped who we are. It marks how far we have come and where we are going next,” Smith said.
Central to that next step is a new corporate travel booking tool, which is being developed to help organisations book, manage and track business travel more simply, while giving travel managers greater visibility and control over their travel programmes.
BVT employs more than 100 trained travel professionals across business travel, leisure and tours, visa advisory, protocol and related services. It also provides 24/7 support for organisations whose staff and executives travel across multiple destinations and time zones.
The company has also invested in quality and information security systems. It holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for information security. “Our clients trust us with their people, their schedules and their data. These certifications are about earning that trust every day, with consistent service and the assurance that their information is protected,” Smith said.
Looking ahead, BVT says its priorities include technology-enabled corporate travel management, stronger international partnerships and services built around the changing needs of organisations and their travellers. The company continues to pursue its stated vision of becoming Nigeria’s travel management company of choice.
