TOURISM

The tourism sector is underdeveloped and offers good investment opportunities.

The country has beautiful beaches, especially in the eastern area, which is also rich in castles, once used for slave trade and now used as museums and UNESCO sites. There are also several parks, but accommodation facilities are scarce. Domestic and international air links are good; major European and American airlines are present.

 

Ghana’s rich cultural heritage, its naturally hospitable population and its commitment to democratic government have made it a peaceful, secure and politically stable country. Ghana receives the largest number of tourists visiting Africa for cultural reasons, placing Ghana among the 10 most popular tourist destinations in Africa and making tourism the most promising sector of the national economy.

 

Ghana is not a destination for mass tourism, but promotes sustainable tourism: cultural tourism, festivals, events, rural tourism; routes focused on the slave route; eco-tourism, proposals - adventure. Ghana has many nature parks and offers visitors the unique experience of "trekking safari.
