Tourism Minister Abla Dzifa Gomashie wants Ghana to use its culture better to attract visitors. She told tour operators that jollof rice and local customs can draw tourists from around the world. The minister warned against messy planning that lets unlicensed guides work without proper training. Young people will create informal tour services if official ones fail to meet demand. Ghana needs smart planning to keep tourism standards high and avoid problems.
Tour Operators Union President Yvonne Donkor raised concerns about social media guides working without licenses. Her group wants to unite tour companies across Ghana and promote travel beyond Accra and Cape Coast. The union plans to encourage more domestic trips and visits between African countries. Over 36,000 Ghanaians traveled to South Africa last year but Ghana needs better marketing abroad. Tour operators will launch training programs next month to improve service quality and pricing skills.
