Safari World champions eco-tourism as sustainable driver of economic growth

The Executive Dinner concluded the familiarisation tour with renewed commitments from the government, Safari World, and NANTA to deepen tourism cooperation, promote cross-border travel, and position Ghana as a leading destination for sustainable ecotourism, investment, and cultural experiences in Africa.

Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Safari World, Samuel Afari Dartey, called for greater national support to position tourism as a key driver of economic transformation, arguing that tourism offers more sustainable long-term value than dependence on natural resources alone.

He made the remarks during Safari World's Executive Dinner in honour of the Executive Council of the National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies (NANTA) at the Safari Valley Resort in Dawu, Okere District, in the Eastern Region of Ghana, following a five-day familiarisation tour of the resort's tourism facilities.
