About this episode

This episode explores Nigeria's embrace of bleisure travel, Ghana's visa-free initiative, and the backlash against Royal Air Maroc regarding luggage issues.

In this episode of Ije: The World of Travel , we unpack Africa's shifting tourism landscape, starting with Nigeria's bold embrace of "bleisure" travel, a mix of business and leisure that's redefining how Nigerians journey across the country. From the art of corporate retreats to the soul of spiritual tourism, discover why local destinations are becoming global-worthy. We also spotlight Ghana's game-changing move to support visa-free African travel, reigniting hopes for a truly borderless continent. What does this mean for the future of regional tourism, trade, and unity? And finally, we confront the growing backlash against Royal Air Maroc, sparked by Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo's missing luggage saga. It's not just about bags, it's about broken trust, poor systems, and the urgent need to fix intra-African air travel.
