The Ghana Hotels Association (GHA) has urged Madam Abla , the Tourism Minister-designate, to consider apportioning part of the one percent tourism levy to support the private sector.
Dr.
Edward Ackah-Nyamike, President of GHA, said they had always advocated for part of the fund to be used to support the private sector, especially trade associations because they served as channels for that payment. "While the levy is intended for industry development, it should also help empower trade associations to fulfil their roles effectively, benefiting the broader tourism sector," he said.
The call comes after President John Dramani Mahama, on Thursday, nominated Madam Gomashie as the Minister-designate for the Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts Ministry.
