The Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, has called for strategic investment in tourism to position the Volta Region as one of Ghana’s leading tourism destinations.
The Minister made the call during the 4th Volta Regional Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Awards, where he highlighted the importance of promoting the region’s cultural heritage, natural attractions and tourism potential.
According to the Minister, increased investment in tourism infrastructure and effective promotion of the region’s attractions would help boost economic growth, create employment opportunities and attract more visitors to the Volta Region.
He also emphasised the importance of collaboration between government, traditional authorities, the media and other stakeholders in advancing tourism development.
As part of his support for the media, James Gunu donated GHΒ’10,000 towards the development of the Volta Regional GJA Press Centre.
The Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, also reportedly pledged roofing works, 10 air conditioners and an additional GHΒ’20,000 towards the project.
The Volta Region is home to several tourism attractions, including the Wli Waterfalls, Mount Afadja, the Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary and its rich cultural festivals, which continue to offer opportunities for tourism development.
The call for strategic investment is expected to encourage stakeholders to explore the region’s tourism potential and contribute to sustainable development.
