Central Region Set to Become Tourism Hub Under Alan Kyerematen's GTP
Kwame Owusu Danso (KOD), the Vice-Presidential candidate of the Afrafranto Alliance, has revealed exciting plans to turn the Central Region into the "Tourism Hub of West Africa" as part of Alan Kyerematen's ambitious Great Transformational Plan (GTP). The initiative is set to reshape the region’s economic landscape by capitalizing on its rich historical and cultural heritage, while creating opportunities for both local communities and international investors.
The Central Region, known for its vibrant culture, scenic landscapes, and historical significance, is an ideal candidate for tourism development. KOD emphasized that the key to success lies in strategic investments in tourism infrastructure, including modern hotels, transportation systems, and improved access to popular historical sites. The region’s rich history, including the Cape Coast Castle and Kakum National Park, is expected to become a major draw for international visitors, helping to boost Ghana’s economy.
Under Kyerematen’s GTP, KOD envisions the Central Region becoming a major hub for both leisure and business tourism, attracting visitors from all over the globe. “This is not just about expanding tourism; it’s about creating sustainable job opportunities for the people of the Central Region,” KOD said during a press conference. The tourism strategy aims to harness the potential of the region’s natural beauty, with new ecotourism initiatives planned to promote conservation while benefiting local communities.
To support this vision, the GTP will also prioritize training local workforce members in hospitality, tour guiding, and other essential skills. This approach will ensure that the local population is equipped to meet the growing demand for tourism services. Furthermore, the region will see improved infrastructure such as roads and facilities to support a growing influx of tourists.
The plan also includes collaborations with international tourism bodies, which will help market the region on a global scale. “We want the Central Region to become the go-to destination for tourists looking to experience the best of Ghana and West Africa,” KOD added.
This transformative initiative is expected to create thousands of jobs and contribute to the region's economic growth, making it a significant player in Ghana’s overall tourism sector. By positioning the Central Region as the focal point of West African tourism, the GTP aims to put Ghana on the world map as a leading travel destination.
With the backing of key industry stakeholders and the support of local communities, the transformation of the Central Region into a tourism hub is poised to redefine the future of tourism in West Africa. Keep an eye on developments as this exciting journey unfolds. Follow for more updates.
