This tourist route was led by the Minster of State for Tourism, Tomás Mecheba Fernández, assisted by the Secretary of State, José Mba Obama Bendomo, and the deputy director general from Ceiba Intercontinental, Teodomiro Monsuy Eyi, representing the head of the company, Bienvenido Esono Abeso.
The delegation, made up of over thirty members, set off from the presidential pavilion at Malabo International Airport, on board a 250-seat Boeing 777-200LR, given the name of “Djibloho”, bound for the new city of the same name.
At Duala airport, the first stop on the itinerary in the Republic of Cameroon, the jet took on board over thirty passengers; among them figures from that country, Equatoguinean residents in Cameroon, and numerous local journalists.
Twenty minutes later, the Boeing landed at the Nsimalen International Airport, in Yaunde. There, the delegation was received by the Equatorial Guinea Ambassador to Cameroon, Anastasio Asumu Mum Muñoz, who joined the trip; the director of Cameroon airports, Franck Oyono Ngo’o; Ceiba employees, and a choir from the RDPC political party, among others.
Mecheba Fernández and the group went to the airport offices to cut the ceremonial ribbon on the new agency, which will add further flexibility for activities and trips for customers of the airline in the neighbouring country.
An hour and a half later, the jet landed at the Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo International Airport in Mongomeyen, from where the delegation travelled to Djibloho.
The Gran Hotel Djibloho was the setting for the speeches from officials, moments before the refreshments and performances by guest artists. In their speeches, Mecheba Fernández and Monsuy Eyi welcomed the attendance at the event, and the deputy director general of the company, Catalina Martínez Asumu, reported on the aim of the trip; to strengthen the commercial ties between the airline and the Gran Hotel Djibloho.
On their return to Malabo, after a visit to the Mongomo Basilica, the Equatoguinean and Cameroon delegations went to Sipopo and the National Park, among other tourist destinations.
As a culmination, the Cameroon guests were seen off with a lunch at the Hotel Hilton Bisila, in Malabo. After that, they returned to their country on a Ceiba Boeing.
The trip was attended by the Minister for Civil Aviation, Fausto Abeso Fuma, together with the ambassadors from Chad and Cameroon to Equatorial Guinea, Ngarayanan Djague Nahari and Lazare Mpoule Bala, respectively, and the Director General for the Advancement and Promotion of Tourism, María Milagrosa Nchama, among other officials.
