Ambassador Nancy Sam, a founding member and former president of the Tour Operators Union of Ghana (TOUGHA), has called on the newly elected executives to work diligently to restore and uplift the union's image.

Speaking at the official inauguration ceremony in Accra on May 14, 2025, which followed a court-ordered election process, Ambassador Sam emphasised her belief in the ability of the new leadership to deliver on their mandate. "On May 14, the Tour Operators Union of Ghana, which has existed for almost 25 years, held a very successful inauguration, one that was nearly disrupted by some unscrupulous individuals who did not want the new executives to assume office," she stated.

She noted that the elections were sanctioned by the court, which helped ensure a lawful process. "The court mandated the elections, and the Ghana Police Service provided protection.

We believed in this team, and that is why we supported them," she said. "Our message to the new executives is simple: work hard.
