Through the promotion, dubbed ‘Passport to Shopping’, shoppers are expected to collect eight valid stamps in their respective ‘passport booklets’ anytime they shop to the tune of a minimum of GH¢150 by May 9, when entries will be closed and three lucky shoppers will be selected for the all-expense paid retreat at Zaina Lodge in the Northern Region. 

The three lucky winning shoppers will enjoy free round trip flights to Tamale, two nights’ lodging and boarding, including beverages, two safari trips per night with packed breakfast and laundry services by courtesy of the ARC. 

A statement issued by the mall said for the past couple of weeks, holiday-hungry shoppers at the Achimota Mall have been scrambling for the opportunity to experience the pleasures of Zaina Lodge and the Mole National Park in the promotion.

It said the appetite for domestic tourism had suddenly shot up among shoppers at ARC as customers braced up for an opportunity to explore the untold pleasures of the Mole National Park’s new and biggest hospitality attraction – the Zaina lodge.

The Marketing Manager of ARC, Mr Anthony Asamoah, said; “This is indeed a passport to a lifetime experience. 'Passport to Shopping' is another exciting campaign designed to reward our dedicated customers and help them relish the joy in modern shopping.”

“The delightful side issue to this promo is that by choosing to reward our loyal patrons with a weekend at Zaina Lodge in our own under-explored savannah region, we are also promoting domestic tourism which, to say the least, has not been vibrant in the past,” he added. 

The exotic Zaina Lodge is in the famous Mole National Park – home to more than 90 mammal species in the savannah north. The facility is strategically located within a scouting distance from two busy water bodies frequented by fascinating game animals and guests of Zaina Lodge get to experience this rare spectacle through guided tours and vehicle safaris. 

  ARC, located at Dome near the St John’s Grammar School on the Accra-Nsawam highway, is the principal shopping destination for communities in the north-eastern sector of the capital, comprising Achimota, Dome, Tantra Hills, Taifa, Ofankor and the estates of Parakou, Ashongmang, Kwabenya and neighbouring residential areas.
