Infographic: “78% of Nigerian Local Travelers are Men”- Jumia Travel Report Shows
Since
time immemorial, traveling has been an essential part of human
existence. We journey miles to see loved ones, engage in business
transactions, or most times, to see the world around us through our own
lenses. Modern day technology has also done more good than harm in
making every stage of the journey easier and more convenient. For
instance, now you can reduce a 6-hour journey to just about 45 minutes
with the help of an airplane. Air tickets can also be procured from just
anywhere with the help of the internet. The stress of having to comb
different locations for hotel lodgings when you arrive at your
destination has also been eliminated seamlessly by online booking
platforms.
Imagine
you are traveling from Lagos, for instance, to Abuja Nigeria’s state
capital, say for, business meetings. All you have to do to find a
comfortable and affordable hotel to stay – depending on your budget – is
to place a booking on any of the hotel booking portals just
from anywhere, anytime, saving yourself some leg works and the gruesome
task of having to deal with disappointment associated with not finding a
tasteful hotel of choice.
Nigerians,
no doubt, love to travel – either local or international travels. It’s
in our DNA. We seize the slightest opportunity we get to move out of our
comfort zones to see new environments – sometimes for business,
pleasure, or family outing. The reasons are just easy to come by.
However, who would have thought that our men are more frequent local
travelers than our women? Surprisingly, they are – at an unimaginable
ratio. Women only account for 22% of the population while men account
for 78%. Africa’s number one hotel booking website, Jumia Travel presents you with its most recent info-graphic on the statistics of Nigerian travelers.
Where do you fall on the scale?
