GHANA TOURISM AUTHORITY TO ORGANIZE A SECOND PARAGLIDING FESTIVAL!

April 22, 2014

That was quick! All without an evaluation and assessment of the event just finished. Did it make a profit? After all tourism is an industry, a business, and I’m sure our tax payer cedis-the 1% tourism levy-went to pay the fifteen foreign paragliders expenses and salaries.
