CONSIDER ORGANISING AWARDS PROGRMME IN EVERY TWO YEARS.

CONSIDER ORGANISING AWARDS PROGRMME IN EVERY TWO YEARS.

Story by Michael Kenetey.

The Eastern Regional Manager of Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Frederick Adjei-Rudolph said the industry should rather consider organizing their awards every two years rather than yearly in order to expand the scope of the awards. He said this on GBCSunrise FM Koforidua on the Events In Focus programme. 

Mr. Adjei-Rudolph stated  that the standards of the hospitality industry under the Ghana Tourism Authority(GTA) has fallen in the region. He said it ridiculous for the managers of hotels to wait for him to come and tell them that their bedsheets are old and there are cobwebs in the rooms.

 He also announced  that tourism brings improvement and development such as hospitals, water, electricity to rural areas and also brings direct and in-direct employment to the youth.

On the Year of Return programme, he said the programme which was a decade programme was a success. He encouraged Ghanaian businessmen to take interest in investing in the tourism sector. 

On the impact of the COVID-19 on the industry, he admitted that the pandemic has really cause a huge impact on the industry but currently the industry is recovering from the impact of the pandemic. 

Speaking on the exploitative nature of some Ghanaians who always take advantage of tourists, he advised Ghanaians with such behaviour  to stop since such behaviour is killing the Tourism Industry.
