The Ghana Tourism Authority is considering establishing another paragliding site in the Volta Region, the Director of Corporate Affairs, Jones Aruna Nelson, has disclosed in an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb.
According to him, more local pilots are being trained for this upcoming project.
He noted that Ghana currently has three solo pilots and one tandem pilot for paragliding.
In a yet-to-air episode of the People and Places on GhanaWeb TV, Nelson said; “We’re looking to establish a second paragliding site in Ghana so that we can offer variety. We are focusing on the Volta Region, and they are also advocating for the training of more local pilots to ensure we have Ghanaian pilots.
“We currently have one tandem pilot, and another tandem pilot is in training and will soon be ready. We also have three solo pilots, all of whom are Ghanaians,” he told GhanaWeb’s Ernestina Serwaa Asante.
Among the pilots who participated in this year’s Kwahu Paragliding Festival is a female pilot from Romania.
In total, seven pilots were operating at the Odweanoma Paragliding Field during the event.
