Authority would organise a corporate paragliding dubbed ‘Fun and Fly’
paragliding Festival 2018 at the Odweanoma Mountains, Atibie in Kwahu from
Friday, September 28 to Sunday, September 30.

The ‘Fun and Fly’ paragliding, which is the
second to be organised this year, is being organised for corporate entities and
other organizations to make time off their busy schedules by relieving
themselves off their stressful schedules at their respective workplaces;
network with each other and create bonds of relationships.

who could not fly during the Kwahu Easter Paragliding to do so.

“This year’s ‘Fun and Fly’ paragliding
coincides with the United Nations (UN) World Tourism Day celebration, which
falls on September 27, every year.

“It is celebrated annually by member countries
across the world to highlight the potential of tourism as a valuable source of
livelihood for millions of people among the member countries,” the statement
said.

It said side attractions for the festival
includes King of the Mountain Cycling Competition, a Digital Symposium,
Children’s Playground, and sale of assorted local food and drinks.

The release noted that, the GTA would continue
in its quest to develop and promote destination Ghana, as spelt out in its
mandate and to make Ghana a preferred destination in terms of domestic and
international tourism with unique events such as the ‘Fun and Fly’.
