Others still complain that they do not have a systematic flow of current information about tourism sites here.
This is why the publishing of the current edition of ‘’Ghana-the official Guide’’ should be received with a big akwaaba.
The latest edition, which has been launched in Accra, aims to guide visitors to explore the best of Ghana.
The publication is in line with the Ministry of Tourism’s objective to increase domestic tourism and it focuses on tourism sites, activities, history, culture and traditions.
‘’This new edition is our biggest so far, providing Ghanaians and visitors with even more detailed information on travelling to the country,” said Yaw Diabah, Directing Editor of Ghana Tourist Guide.
“Very few travel guides on Ghana offer as much information on our culture or represents us in a positive manner internationally.’’
The 448-page, glossy book has facts and colourful pictures covering a wide range of attractions from all parts of Ghana. It is also illustrated with maps and presents the best of what Ghana has to offer in terms of attractions, festivals, wildlife and nature, culture and heritage.
