In a bid to transform Keta’s picturesque beachfront into a vibrant hub for tourism and recreation, business owners in the hospitality industry are actively seeking partnerships with foreign investors, including those from Russia.
The aim is to develop world-class facilities for surfing, diving, and an industrial aquarium, promising significant economic and social benefits for the region.
William Klu, the CEO of Villa Amore, a renowned beach resort in Keta, emphasised the importance of foreign investment in realizing this vision. “Inviting investors, especially from Russia, will not only help us develop the beachfront but also create numerous employment opportunities for the many unemployed youths in the area,” Klu stated.
The proposal includes establishing top-notch surfing and diving centres, capitalizing on Keta's natural coastal beauty and favourable conditions for water sports. Additionally, plans for an industrial aquarium are in the works, which would serve as both a major tourist attraction and a research facility, further boosting Keta’s appeal as a tourist destination.
Klu highlighted that partnerships with foreign investors would bring in the necessary capital and expertise to develop these facilities to international standards. “We are looking for investors who share our vision and are willing to contribute to the sustainable development of Keta. The potential here is immense, and with the right support, we can transform Keta into a leading tourist destination,” he added.
The initiative aligns with Ghana’s broader strategy to enhance tourism and attract foreign direct investment. By focusing on developing the beachfront, Keta aims to leverage its unique assets and position itself as a key player in the regional tourism market.
Local officials and business owners are optimistic about the prospects of this initiative, believing that with the right investment, Keta can experience unprecedented growth. The development is expected to spur the local economy, provide jobs, and improve infrastructure, ultimately benefiting both the community and investors.
As Keta opens its doors to foreign investors, particularly those from Russia, the hospitality industry stands poised for a transformation that could redefine the region's economic landscape and offer a brighter future for its inhabitants.
