Many developing nations are getting a growing part of their foreign exchange income as tourism. “When tourism is thriving, we get better schools, better hospitals and better infrastructure. When tourism does well, so do our other industries,” Says Kenya tourism ministry official Rebecca Nabutola.

Akaki Ayumu Jovino, Uganda’s minister of tourism and antiquities replies to critics fearing that tourism will endanger traditional way of life, by saying that “tourism, means jobs, poverty reduction and a better life for all the citizens.”

I visited Ghana, some years ago and was amazed by it’s rich culture and beautiful nature. I believe Ghana has much more to offer than just the beutiful beaches. I was especially fascinated with the town of Tamale in the North of the country and The city of Kumasi in the Centre. You can find more about my trip to Ghana and related links on my homepage.
