Ghana unwraps special gifts for travelers this holiday season
Ghana has unwrapped a special gift for travelers this holiday season, introducing a 46-day visa-on-arrival treat from December 1, 2023, to January 15, 2024.
This festive initiative is part of Ghana’s decade-long ‘Beyond The Return’ campaign, enticing the African diaspora to rediscover their roots and embrace the warmth of Ghana. In the spirit of the season, Ghana aims to position itself as the ultimate destination for those of African descent, fostering connections and creating unforgettable memories.
The Ministry of Transport urges seamless travel by updating systems to accommodate this visa-on-arrival arrangement, ensuring a hassle-free experience for visitors.
Foreign Affairs Minister Ayorkor Botchwey hinted at the possibility of extending this warm welcome to all Africans and people of African descent in the diaspora, aligning Ghana with a select few African nations currently offering visa-free entry.
Joining the festive chorus, Ghana’s move not only sparks holiday cheer but also underscores its commitment to cultural exchange, tourism, and celebrating the shared heritage of people of African descent worldwide.
Ghana Food Festival 2023 Promises a Culinary Christmas Extravaganza
Food enthusiasts, artists, and entertainment lovers are gearing up for the highly anticipated 2023 edition of the Ghana Food Festival.
Set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Mall, Atomic Junction Roundabout, North Legon, near the University of Ghana, this lively carnival is slated to take place on Christmas Day.
Organized by Pen it Multimedia Limited, a digital media and events management company in Accra, the GFF receives robust support from key partners, including the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Beyond the Return (BTR) secretariat, Fidelity Bank Ghana, and the Atlantic Mall.
This culinary celebration is part of the “December in GH” program calendar initiated by the BTR to promote tourism in Ghana and Africa.
The event is more than just a food festival; it’s a strategic initiative to bolster economic relations and investments from the diaspora in Ghana and across the continent.
The festival’s centerpiece is a diverse array of local cuisines from all regions of the country, complemented by a tantalizing selection of continental dishes.
It also provides a platform for entrepreneurs and businesses in the food and non-food production chain to connect, network, form partnerships, trade, and showcase their products.
Organizers say it is a unique opportunity for both established enterprises and budding startups to gain visibility in a vibrant market.
