The Ministry of Tourism Arts, and Culture (MoTAC) and its implementing agency, the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), have disclosed that some 150,000 visitors are expected to arrive in the country to participate in the activities lined up for the ‘December in GH’ events.

Dr Ibrahim Mohammed Awal, the Minister for Tourism, while iterating the preliminary events which have been approved for the initiative, made mention of some significant strides that have been made by the sector despite the effects of the pandemic.

“As of now, the tourism sector has achieved about 70 percent target in terms of measures to mitigate the effects of the pandemic on tourism businesses.

“As it stands Ghana is attracting more tourists in West Africa due to the country’s vaccination drive and we are expecting some 150,000 visitors for ‘December in GH’.”

The initiative, according to reports, constitutes an array of high-profile tourism-oriented events which brings thousands of tourists into the country from across the globe.

Dr Awal touching on the expectations for this year’s ‘December in GH’ stated that the country is on course to attract more tourist arrivals in 2021.

This development, Dr Awal disclosed, aligns with “Government’s ambitions for the sector … to generate about 250,000 domestic and international jobs within the sector by end of year, leveraging significantly on ‘December in GH”.

According to Tourism Minister, “the last quarter of this year is very critical for us in attracting these projected numbers into the country”.

Also, Dr Awal stated that between now and December tourist are expected to arrive “mostly from America, Nigeria, UK, Germany, China, The Netherlands and that is why we need to reinforce the protocols together with the COVID-19 Taskforce.”

Activities at the ‘December in GH’

These events, Mr. Agyeman said, would be observed under strict COVID-19 protocols where vaccination cards would only be accepted from guests, and observance of all approved protocols as part of means to participate in the events.

“By November 1, we’ll have the full calendar of events. The Ministry and GTA are still vetting most of the events which have been received and by the end of this month, the full list of events will be announced, and contactless ticketing would highly be utilized to prevent personal contacts.”

Mr. Akwasi Agyeman
