Ghana has been selected to host the 70th Session of the United Nations (UN) Tourism Commission for Africa (CAF) in 2027, a significant achievement expected to reinforce the country's growing influence in continental tourism and international diplomacy.

The UN Tourism Commission for Africa serves as the principal regional platform through which African member states of UN Tourism deliberate on tourism policies, review sector performance, strengthen regional cooperation and formulate strategies to enhance tourism's contribution to sustainable development.

According to her, the 2027 meeting will carry special historical significance because it coincides with Ghana's 70th Independence Anniversary and the 70th Session of the UN Tourism Commission for Africa, making the occasion a symbolic celebration of both African progress and Ghana's national journey.
