Ghana's representative to the annual gathering on pilgrimage services in Jeddah is participating in discussions focused on operational improvements for the 2026 season. Abdul-Rauf Tanko Ibrahim attended sessions organized by Saudi authorities and the Pilgrims Experience Program that addressed leadership practices, technological integration, and logistical coordination among participating countries.
Mohammed Amin Lamptey, communications director for the Pilgrims Affairs Office, announced on Thursday, November 6, that the conference facilitates collaboration among policymakers and service providers on crisis management and transparency measures. He noted the event enables international stakeholders to propose solutions for common challenges in pilgrimage administration.
Lamptey reminded Ghanaian travelers planning the 2026 journey to submit 60,000 cedis through authorized agents or designated Ghana Commercial Bank accounts. Prompt payment ensures adequate preparation for accommodation and transportation arrangements in both countries, according to the communications official.
