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, emphasised their commitment to improving tourism infrastructure in the coming months.
“We recognize that there’s still much to be done, especially in collaborating with other agencies on tourism infrastructure. During the rainy season, we receive numerous complaints about the condition of roads leading to tourist sites. 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.
