The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has launched an exciting lineup of events for September, officially designated as “Tourism Month.”
This initiative aims to promote domestic tourism and encourage Ghanaians to explore the country’s rich cultural heritage, natural attractions, and exciting activities.
Tourism Month will feature a diverse range of events, including cultural and arts festivals, expos, bazaars, exhibitions, adventure and sporting events, musical concerts, pageants, tours, and cruises. There’s something for everyone, from thrill-seekers to culture enthusiasts.
A highlight of Tourism Month is the celebration of World Tourism Day (WTD) on September 27.
This year’s national WTD commemorations will be held in Sekondi-Takoradi, Western Region, featuring a series of events from September 26 to the end of the month. The celebrations will culminate in a grand Choral Festival in Accra.
According to Ben Anane Nsiah, Deputy CEO of GTA – General Services, Tourism Month is part of the Authority’s efforts to promote tourism throughout the year. “Our ultimate goal is to establish tourism as a year-round activity, ensuring continuous patronage of tourism-related businesses and positioning Ghana as a competitive tourist destination.”
Industry stakeholders, including Seth Adjei Baah, Chairman of the GTA Board, and Davies Opoku Ansah, Member of Parliament for Mpraeso Constituency, expressed their support for Tourism Month, emphasizing its potential to create wealth and stimulate Ghana’s economy.
The theme for WTD 2024 is “Tourism and Peace.” With a comprehensive list of planned activities and events, the GTA is urging everyone to come on board and make Tourism Month a memorable and successful celebration.
