Ghana is ranked the 105th preferred tourist destination in the world and the 10th in Africa. This was disclosed by the Minister for Tourism and Diaspora Relations, Ms Akua Sena Dansua, in a speech read on her behalf, at the formal opening of this year’s Methodist Religious Tourism Festival(Methofest) at Koforidua at the weekend.
The festival, which coincides with the 50th Anniversary of the
independence of the Methodist Church, Ghana from the British Methodist
Conference on 28 July 1961, is to showcase the achievements of the
church in the various dioceses throughout the country.
The theme for the celebration is: “The Methodist Church of
Ghana, 50 years of Autonomy; Achievements and Challenges.”
Ms Dansua explained that domestic tourism promotes national
cohesion and brotherliness, which are critical for national
development and gave the assurance that her Ministry would totally
support the Methodist Church and other interested stakeholders to
promote domestic tourism.
She said tourism is a powerful catalyst for economic growth, job
creation, redistribution of wealth and poverty reduction.
