Mary Nyamekye Asamoah
Ghanaian tourism and aviation professional and entrepreneur, Mary Nyamekye Asamoah, has been honoured with the Africa Travel 100 Tour Operators Award 2026 at the 22nd edition of the Akwaaba Travel Market in Nigeria.
Mary Asamoah, Chief Executive Officer of Spotless Travel and Tours and Spotless Aviation and Professional Training Institute, was among a select group of tourism professionals from across Africa recognised for their contributions to the continent’s travel and tourism industry.
Her recognition comes after years of work in aviation, travel, tourism and professional training, with a focus on creating travel experiences and empowering young people to pursue careers in the sector.
Madam Asamoah’s interest in tourism and aviation began at an early age and led her to pursue a career in the aviation industry. Driven by her entrepreneurial vision, Madam Asamoah established Spotless Aviation and Professional Training Institute to provide training and practical exposure to young people interested in aviation, hospitality and tourism.
As part of the initiative, she uses an aircraft as an office and training environment to give students a practical appreciation of the aviation industry. Her work has particularly focused on equipping young people with skills, knowledge and confidence to build careers in aviation, hospitality and tourism.
The Africa Travel 100 recognition therefore adds to her growing profile as a tourism and aviation entrepreneur committed to developing both the industry and the next generation of professionals. Her journey from cabin crew member to tourism entrepreneur and aviation educator demonstrates a progression aimed at combining travel business development with skills training and youth empowerment.
The Akwaaba Travel Market, one of Africa’s major travel and tourism trade events, brings together tourism stakeholders, travel professionals, destinations and industry players to promote partnerships and opportunities within the African travel market.
