Heirs Insurance threw the first-ever Travel Festival at Harbour Point in Lagos, and thousands showed up to talk about making African travel less of a nightmare. Ambassadors from Brazil and Angola joined CNN's former senior editor Stephanie Busari on a panel pushing for easier visa processes and better border systems across the continent.
Travel content creators like Zim Erobu and Adenike Tejuoso went off about how Africans get hit with visa rejections without refunds, which makes trips way more expensive than they should be. The festival pushed for fewer restrictions between African countries and better bilateral agreements.
Ifesinachi Okpagu from Heirs Insurance said the company wants to fix access problems and make global movement actually possible for regular people, not just rich folks with connections.
