Nelson highlighted the significance of these events, stating, “This time around, the events have become an attraction in itself… that is why we had December in Ghana, trying to leverage on the events and activities that we had. As I speak now, we have over 200 events which have been endorsed by the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) to be hosted from December to early January.”
In addition to approving these events, GTA is also dedicated to ensuring the safety and security of all visitors during the festive season. Jones mentioned, “And then we’ve also had engagements with our stakeholders Ghana Tourism Federation, Tour Operators Union, Ghana Hoteliers, Tour Guides among others to come together… the security agencies as well have been part of this.”
With the approval of these numerous events and comprehensive security measures, the Christmas and New Year festivities in Ghana are poised to reach new heights of joy and celebration, making it an attractive destination for holiday revelers from around the world.
