Correspondence from the Eastern Region The Kyidomhene of the Boso-Gua Traditional Area in the Eastern Region has implored the government and other pivotal stakeholders to capitalise on the extensive potential within Boso-Gua's tourism sector as a strategic instrument not only for generating employment but also for addressing the economic challenges confronting the nation.
Ahunabobrim Akuamoh Kwao II, in an interview during the ancestral burial of the 25 deceased chiefs and a queen mother, underscored that tourism represents the most accessible and effective pathway to attracting both local and international investments.
He accentuated that tourism not only serves as a source of revenue generation but also possesses the capacity to create employment, promote local culture, and open rural communities to developmental opportunities.
In his appeal to the government and the President to harness the town's tourism potential, he expressed, "Boso, we're now emerging, so the government should direct its attention, its focus, on Boso; they should place their trust in us, we are prepared to collaborate with the government, we have the Volta River coursing through, we have a populace well-versed in the nuances of tourism." Highlighting the significance of the ancestral burial, Ahunabobrim Akuamoh Kwao II emphasized the necessity for unity, stating, "This is not merely about culture but encompasses the unity that binds us within the community." The Kyidomhene, while extolling his predecessors, remarked: "Throughout the course of 25 illustrious reigns, these chiefs have adeptly navigated challenges and championed initiatives that have enriched and shaped our community into what it is today." Elucidating the role of culture in contemporary society, he asserted the imperative to perpetuate the customs and traditions bequeathed by our ancestors, an aspiration he revealed was the cornerstone of the ancestral burial.
