Minister-designate for Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, has pledged to overhaul Ghana's tourism and creative arts sectors, promising to foster growth, boost both local and international tourism, and leverage the country's rich cultural heritage for sustainable development.
Appearing before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on January 22, 2025, Gomashie outlined her ambitious plans to rejuvenate the industry, highlighting its significant potential to contribute to Ghana's economic growth and cultural preservation. "There's going to be a revamping of the tourism and creative arts sectors," she declared, emphasizing the need to upgrade and market Ghana's numerous tourist attractions, including historical sites, national parks, and scenic landscapes.
Gomashie identified inadequate infrastructure and limited investments as major obstacles preventing the country from fully capitalizing on its tourism potential.
She stressed the importance of addressing these challenges to position Ghana as a top global tourist destination.
