ATQ's Travellers Magazine lists Top 100 Hotels in Lagos

As Lagos expands as one of Africa’s most important city with a population of 21 million and a middle class of 4 million people, there is a need to assess the quality of hospitality and its competitiveness. 
To this end, Travellers Magazine is compiling a list of the Top 100 Hotels in Lagos to be published in November 2015 edition.
According to the publisher Mr. Ikechi Uko, “we are doing a survey among hotel managers of over 200 hotels in Lagos chosen by us to determine the leading hotels in Lagos.” 
A questionnaire survey is being carried out by the magazine, among these managers. Travellers Magazine by ATQ is the first travel Magazine in West Africa Published since 1996.
The journal serves as one stop shop for airlines, Hotels, Restaurants, Tour operators, Travel Agents, State Tourism Board etc. Travellers’ magazine is set to be the in-house magazine of over 100 hotels in Nigeria and Ghana.
 Already Guests of Holiday Inn Airport hotel Accra, La Palm Royal Beach Hotel Accra and Southern Sun Hotel Lagos enjoy copies of Travellers for their reading comfort.
It is now an inflight magazine for Africa World Airlines that flies between Ghana and Nigeria and also within Ghana. 
AWA was voted as the best Domestic Airline in Ghana. AWA is the strategic partner to South African Airlines on the Accra/Washington DC route. AWA is expected to carry all SAA passengers between Nigeria and Ghana. 
This partnership provides a huge opportunity for visibility.  It was the inflight magazine for Virgin Nigeria before it stopped operating.
