Well, again the Ghana Tourism Authority and the Ministry of Tourism are trying to engage CNN to promote Destination Ghana on the world stage. I write again because on a couple of occasions in the past, that is pre-tourism levy, Ghana had tried and failed to contract CNN. I heard tell Ghana wanted a freebie […]

I’ll keep this short. A couple of days ago, my Facebook buddy posted this article entitled “Graphic Others Launch Ghana Heritage Week” asking “Promising?” tagged to me Christopher Scott and the proprietor of Busua Inn?Elize Bay’s Olivier Funfschilling.

Should you follow the SCRAP SHORT TERM TOURIST VISA TO GHANA campaign on Facebook, you might have read a little debate on the recent Ghana Tourist Board exercise going around the country holding awards ceremonies. I was somewhat hostile to the program given the fact that it seems that’s all the GTA (Ghana Tourism Authority) […]

Once again good to be back blogging… Yesterday, an uncanny co-incidence took place. I was reconnecting with my co-administrator Festus Tumi of Destination Ghana fame on the SCRAP SHORT TERM TOURIST VISAS TO GHANA Facebook group site. Our messaging took us to Philip Briggs’ latest update to the Bradt Guide to Ghana. The post concerned […]

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. It kinda smells of personal agendas superseding the public […]
