Let’s make tourism attractive - Abeiku Santana

Radio presenter and host of Okay Fm’s Ofie Kwanso, Abeiku Santana has taken on the responsibility of revamping the Ghanaian tourism sector.

He is running an informative and educative campaign on the various tourist attractions in Ghana which he believes will catch the attention of many tourists.

Abeiku Santana has launched periodic social media campaigns on the subject of Ghanaian tourism and has been on the road, educating commercial drivers and street vendors on how to relate with tourists and foreigners in general.

 “I have been working with the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Mrs Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, to remodel our tourism industry and make it viable to international interests. We already have all that it takes to be a number one tourism spot in West Africa. Now we need to put the work in and get the message out there,” he said in an interview with Showbiz on Monday.

Asked why he has taken up the responsibility of Ghanaian tourism, he said, “Ghana has so many stories and history to share with the world. The people have varied cultures, the language, food, clothing, etc. Even though we are a diversified group of people, we are still able to function in a unified democratic style of governance.”

He urged all Ghanaians living abroad to continue sharing good information about the Ghanaian culture whenever they had the opportunity.

To demonstrate how seriously he takes Ghana and Africa’s tourism as a whole, he has gone back to school to get a Masters Degree in Tourism at the University of Cape Coast.
