It was an exciting and refreshing experience as I visited the beautiful Wli Waterfalls together with the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Mrs. Marilyn Maame Efua Houadjeto, the Volta Regional Director of GTA, Madam Roberta Okine-Fumador, the Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Prosper Kumi, and other officials.
The visit formed part of efforts to explore the enormous tourism and investment potential within the Volta Region and to assess some of the challenges affecting tourism development, especially accessibility to tourist sites.
During the visit, we paid homage to the chiefs and elders of the Wli community and interacted with staff, residents, and visitors at the site. Their insights and commitment to promoting tourism in the area were truly inspiring.
The Volta Region has over 120 tourist sites with huge untapped potential capable of creating jobs and boosting local economic growth when properly developed.
Wli Waterfalls remains one of our greatest tourism assets, and we are committed to working with stakeholders and investors to unlock its full potential.
The GTA is also engaging investors on opportunities for eco-lodges, restaurants, and other hospitality facilities that will enhance the tourism experience and create employment for our people.
Together, we will continue to position the Volta Region as Ghana’s preferred tourism destination.
