Good evening Madam, can you tell us a little about Biba Horizon Services?
Good evening, Mr. Journalist. Before answering the question I would like to first wish happy new year 2025 and thank Charilogone Médias for the opportunity. This being said, BIBA Horizon Services is a company under Chadian law, created on September 14, 2014. And which operates in several sectors of activity, especially in the sale of plane tickets, transport, tourism and offers services namely: reception of tourists at the airport and their accommodation in hotels, facilitation in obtaining administrative documents. At BHS level, we help customers by making their stays pleasant through the organization of tourist circuits. In short, with us your trips and travel within Chad are guaranteed.
What are the difficulties you face in running your business?
Our difficulties are linked to access to financing which seems difficult due to the fact that too much guarantee limits access to bank credit. Added to this is the lack of customers because people are not traveling much lately. The payment of national taxes and the eligibility conditions for being an IATA member do not make it easier for us to operate in our field. And above all the big difficulty remains the problem of internet access in Chad, which hampers our work.
What are Biba Horizon Services’ projects?
Within the company, our greatest wish is to be an IATA member, to also extend our area of action throughout the national territory, by having agencies in the regional capitals of Chad. So that a customer being, for example, in Abéché can directly buy their ticket in Abéché without traveling to N’djamena. Because you should know that BHS, being AMADEUS, works in partnership with all travel companies: Air Ivoire, Royal Air Maroc, Air France, SKY. With us these are all the destinations.
Do you have any last words, Madam Director?
As a final word, I would like to say that in life you have to love what you do. As women especially we must dare because we are in a world where female entrepreneurship is poorly represented. We women must be able to establish ourselves in this sector.
