Seth Baah<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Board Chairman of Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Mr. Seth Baah, has appealed to Ghanaians to support the Tourism Ministry and it\u2019s implementing agencies in promoting Ghana\u2019s tourism to generate the needed revenue for the economic development of the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been doing a lot of things, including renovation of the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and other tourist sites in order to create an environment that people can go and have fun while promoting tourism, so it is our duty as citizens to also play our part in promoting the sector,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the GTA Industrial Fun Games organised as part of the GTA\u2019s 50th anniversary celebrations, Mr. Baah indicated that tourism unites people and the world, and \u201cthrough that we should be able to do something for Mother Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want tourism to be the number one income earner for the country so we believe that if we are able to package and promote our tourism well, it would attract a lot more people on yearly basis and we would generate a lot of revenue for the economy,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
On his part, Mr. Akwasi Agyemang, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), GTA, said the rationale for the industrial fun games was to foster a stronger sense of partnership, collaboration and healthy rivalry among sister agencies and private sector operators.<\/p>\n
He reiterated the need for Ghanaians to see the tourism sector as an area to be focused on, adding that it provided revenue.<\/p>\n
The event, under the theme \u201cSustainable and inclusive tourism development: 50 years and beyond,\u201d showcased a vibrant blend of togetherness, competition, and celebration.<\/p>\n
The games were divided into competitive and noncompetitive categories to cater to a wide range of interests, enabling people to participate in soccer, table tennis, tug of war, lime and spoon races, sack races, scrabble matches, and a 50-meter dash.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the noncompetitive category offered engaging games like ludu, playing cards, bottle flipping, eating contests, ampe, musical chairs, oware, drafts, and jenga.<\/p>\n
The CEO announced that the grand finals of the games would be organised to coincide with the World Tourism Day celebrations on September 27, 2023, in Ada.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis decision would not only ensure a proper culmination of the contests, but also provide an opportunity for participants to explore and relish the beauty of Ada.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThe GTA\u2019s 50th anniversary celebrations promises to be an unforgettable blend of sports, unity, and national pride, underscoring the shared commitment to fostering a thriving tourism sector for the betterment of Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n
