Giving an example, the Tourism Ambassador said that when a tourist comes to your country, transportation is key – if not, they will not be moving from one place to the other – which is actually the essence of tourism.
“When the tourist comes to the country they sometimes don’t know how to get the cars – transportation, and some of them end up struggling with us (Ghanaians) in getting the ‘trotro’ and taxi. We should be more proactive and learn more about it” he urged.
