President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has announced that an amount of US$10 million has been set aside to refurbish and construct new tourist sites in the country.
Nana Akufo-Addo says part of the money will be used to renovate the Cape Coast Castle, the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, among others.
Speaking at the commissioning of the newly renovated Ghana National Museum in Accra, Nana Akufo-Addo said the tourism industry needs to be given the needed attention.
“Government has committed US$ 10 million to rehabilitate and build a number of tourist and heritage attractions including the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, Cape Coast and Elmina Castles, Manhyia Palace Museum, Gbewaa Palace Museum and the Yaa Asantewaa Palace among others.”
He added that, rehabilitation works will pave the way for the true Ghanaian identity.
“As we reopen the doors of these Museums to the public, there is great hope from us that the development of the museum will enable the history of Ghana and Africa to be told in a manner that inspires hope and confidence in our youth and which will illustrate that our culture is a true expression of the African identity, a culture that emphasizes unity, hard-work, creativity, innovation, solidarity and family”, he stressed.
