The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has revealed ongoing discussions with the Ministry of Roads and Highways to enhance road networks leading to the country’s tourist sites.
This announcement follows complaints from tourists regarding the poor condition of roads, particularly during the rainy season.
Addressing the media, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Akwasi Agyeman, emphasized the commitment to improving tourism infrastructure in the coming months.

We are working closely with the Ministry of Roads through our own ministry to ensure that at least the final stretches leading to these sites are upgraded” he added.
Mr. Agyeman also noted that, nearly 600,000 tourists visited Ghana in the first half of 2024.
“This year is shaping up to be promising for our sector, as we recorded close to 600,000 tourist visits in the first half of the year.”
