Highlights From the 2025 National Tourism Awards Ceremony
This year’s National Tourism Awards featured several forward-looking announcements and inspiring calls to action to propel Ghana’s tourism and hospitality sector into a new era.
A call to embrace technology and AI
The guest of honour, Deputy Chief of Staff Nana Oye Bampoe Addo, urged the nation to harness technology and artificial intelligence to enhance visitor experiences. She envisioned AI-driven platforms capable of offering personalised travel recommendations, real-time language translation, accessibility mapping, and intelligent route planning. According to her, such tools would not only improve visitor engagement but also create jobs and strengthen Ghana’s identity as the Black Star of Africa.
Introduction of the “Experience Ghana App”
The CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority, Maame Afua Houadjeto, announced the soon-to-be-launched Experience Ghana App, a comprehensive digital platform where tourists can browse, book, and pay for services. For international audiences, the platform will also integrate immersive virtual reality features, offering rich, remote exploration of Ghana’s attractions. She further revealed the rollout of a master training module designed to elevate service delivery across hotels, restaurants, tour operations, and events.
Ghana’s preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Ahead of the upcoming World Cup, Ms. Houadjeto shared that the GTA is collaborating with the U.S. Embassy, Canadian High Commission, Mexican High Commission, and Tribe, as well as other diplomatic missions, to organize official watch parties across all 16 regions. These events aim to enhance communal tourism experiences throughout the tournament.
A renewed call for excellence in hospitality
Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, encouraged hospitality stakeholders to elevate their service quality and create experiences that compel visitors to return. She emphasized that reimagining service delivery is key to building a globally competitive hospitality sector.
With this national recognition and the proven success of Ghana’s first hotel investment model, there has never been a better time to invest in The Pelican Hotel.
