Mr Rifai acknowledged Ghana\u2019s tourism potential and the need for the sector to be given significant financial and technical support by government and development partners.<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cGhana\u2019s Tourism sector had the capacity to generate more foreign exchange earnings and create employment opportunities to achieve the country\u2019s development agenda\u201d. The UNWTO Head used the occasion to formally invite the Minister to visit UNWTO Offices in Madrid, Spain to appraise herself of the organisation\u2019s work, and to finalise discussions on areas of possible support for Ghana\u2019s tourism development.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Dansua expressed Ghana\u2019s commitment to collaborate effectively with the UNWTO to develop tourism in Ghana. She commended the organisation for its immense assistance to Ghana over the years and expressed the hope that the long standing relationship would be sustained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/201ed65bget.media_1254-150x90.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Continue reading here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/business.peacefmonline.com\/news\/201103\/147153.php\" title=\"The United Nation\u2019s World Tourism  Pledges Support For Ghana\u2019s Tourism Sector\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The United Nation\u2019s World Tourism  Pledges Support For Ghana\u2019s Tourism Sector<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The United Nation\u2019s World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) Secretary General, Taleb Rifai has pledged technical and financial support for tourism development in Ghana. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-332732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
