Flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has indicated that the creative arts and tourism sector in Ghana is one of the sectors that needs to be strengthened.

He believes if that industry is strengthened it will foster growth and development in the country, considering its economic potential.

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia made this known when he visited the Trade Fair Center, which is currently under construction.

He indicated that the Trade Fair when done "ten times the nation's current biggest facility for events, will immensely benefit the industry in many ways, including the ability to admit more people at lesser fees, for more profits".
