  Address water & sanitation as well. Clean water at every corner of the country and a clean country will be a major boost in branding Ghana to attract tourists. They will just flood the country without any prompting;
  thereby saving on expensive adverts. For tourism to achieve its potential, the Ghana Tourist Authority should champion a Water & Sanitation for A?l by 2016 campaign. If this is achieved tourists will simply pour in to see the most centrally placed country in the world with such enviable feat in Sub Sahara Africa. The Ebola story bears testimony.

  Ghana has nothing to offer but still acts like they have something special. Make visa on arrival available like normal countries and lower the fee to 10 usd and you will see the increase you want, otherwise forget it...

  Christian, you are right. It can be difficult to get a visa. Ghana faces competition from around the world. Why go to Ghana on holiday when it is so much harder to enter than other countries.

  Our streets are not safe in the night, our beaches stink, and no clean public toilets.I visited the Dominican republic recently. The country depends solely on tourism as a foreign exchange earner.Ghana can make it too.

  A country with this kind of infrastructure dirt and an airport where it takes normally 2 hour to get out without talking about the procedure to obtain a visa can't be a country prone to tourism. Did Mr Tetteh visit Aburi botanical garden? If not he can read my previous article on what I found there.
