Ghana will invest $25 million this year to upgrade its iconic tourist sites to give impetus to a new project that aims to attract one million visitors a year from Europe by 2024, dubbed ‘Destination Ghana,’ Joy FM reported.
The West African nation will rehabilitate the famous Elmina and Cape Coast Castles, the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, the Mole and Kakum National Parks and cultural museums in the Northern, Ashanti, Eastern and Volta regions, the Accra-based radio broadcaster said, citing President Nana Akufo-Addo.
