Saturday, August 31, 2024 Ghanaians have been urged by Member of Parliament for Mpraeso, Davies Opoku Ansah, to prioritize exploring the abundant treasures within their own country before seeking experiences abroad. This call to action was delivered during the official launch of the Ghana Tourism Authority’s (GTA) ‘Tourism Month,’ an annual event held every September, aimed at promoting domestic tourism. The MP’s remarks highlighted the rich experiences that Ghana has to offer, particularly in regions like Kwahu, which is renowned for its breathtaking scenery and significant cultural heritage.
In his speech, Opoku Ansah emphasized the exceptional offerings of Kwahu, a region often celebrated for its natural beauty and cultural richness. He pointed out that instead of spending money on international destinations like Dubai, Ghanaians should consider exploring Kwahu first. “If you want to experience the good weather in Dubai, first come to Kwahu and experience our weather,” he suggested.
According to the MP, after experiencing the wonders of Kwahu, one might even reconsider the need to travel abroad. This focus on domestic tourism is not only a matter of national pride but also a strategic move to enhance the local economy. By choosing Kwahu as a travel destination, Ghanaians can save money while enjoying a fulfilling experience.
Opoku Ansah assured potential tourists that Kwahu offers both financial savings and immense enjoyment, thus making it a compelling option .
