In a major boost to Ghana’s tourism drive, the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has hailed Delta Air Lines’ new Accra–Atlanta seasonal service as a powerful affirmation of the country’s rising global appeal.
Addressing dignitaries, partners, and industry players at a ceremony, the CEO of the GTA, Maame Efua Houadjeto, described the launch as “more than an aviation milestone,” noting that the new route strengthens a historic bridge between Ghana and the African diaspora.
According to her, Delta’s renewed commitment underscores Ghana’s position as a growing hub on the world map, adding that the service does more than transport passengers; it reconnects families, deepens cultural ties and expands opportunities for global engagement.
The CEO noted that the GTA is fully prepared to welcome thousands of visitors during the upcoming festive season, announcing that “Ghana is ready, steady, and open to the world.”
She unveiled a packed December in the GH calendar designed to showcase the richness of Ghanaian culture. Key highlights include: Taste of Culture, a celebration of food, art, music and creative expression.

Mrs Houadjeto assured the public that the GTA is working closely with security services, airport authorities and immigration officials to guarantee a smooth and memorable experience for every traveller arriving this season.
“Hospitality is not an industry in Ghana, it is who we are,” she emphasised, calling on Ghanaians and the diaspora to embrace the season with unity and pride.
With Delta’s new route strengthening international access and the GTA’s ambitious December rollout, Ghana is firmly positioning itself as the heartbeat of African celebration this festive season.
