South Asia Travel and Hajj Service, a concern of the country’s leading business group AKIJ Resource, has started its journey with the aim of ensuring a reliable, transparent and quality Hajj and Umrah service for Muslims. On this occasion, an inauguration ceremony and a doa mahfil were organised at the office of South Asia Travel and Hajj Service located in the capital’s Nayapaltan on Thursday evening. Managing Director of AKIJ Resource Sheikh Jasim Uddin was present as the chief guest at the ceremony, according to a press release.
Addressing the occasion, Sheikh Jasim Uddin said, “Hajj and Umrah constitute a very sensitive and sacred service sector. Quality of service, transparency and credibility are the most important in this sector. We have decided to enter this sector after noticing the lack of quality and transparent services in the Hajj and Umrah service sector for a long time. South Asia Travel and Hajj Service will be a reflection of the trust and professionalism with which Akij Resource has been conducting business. We want those who are going to perform Hajj and Umrah to get a safe, orderly and uninterrupted service.”
Head of Business of South Asia Travel and Hajj Service Abu Ammar Abdulla said that this company will work specifically to fill the existing deficiencies in the Hajj and Umrah service sector. These include ending excessive pricing and opaque payment systems, preventing misinformation and fraudulent campaigns, modern technology-based booking and tracking systems, and providing 24-hour support services through experienced muallim and trained guides.
South Asia Travel and Hajj Service will provide group and customised packages for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims, visa processing, air ticketing, hotel reservations in Makkah and Madina, local transportation, muallim and guide assistance, real-time customer support, and special training and seminars for Hajj pilgrims.
Chief Business Development Officer of AKIJ Resource Mohammad Towfique Hasan, Chief People Officer Mohammed Afsar Uddin, Deputy Chief Operating Officer Sohanur Rahman Sohan, and senior officials from various business units of AKIJ Resource were present at the event.
