The Ghana Tourism Authority has unveiled its highly anticipated 2023 Tourism Report, revealing a remarkable recovery in the tourism sector post-COVID. The report, presented at the Accra Tourist Information Center (ATIC), provides comprehensive insights into international arrivals and tourism trends in Ghana.
Following a sharp decline in international arrivals in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ghana experienced a significant rebound in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2021, leading to a 76% surge in total arrivals during that period. The positive momentum continued in 2022, with arrivals nearly doubling, marking a 47% growth. In 2023, arrivals reached 1,148,002, surpassing pre-COVID figures and indicating a strong recovery for the sector.
The tourism report, titled “STRONG RECOVERY,” underscores the efforts of the Ghana Tourism Authority in collecting, compiling, and publishing vital information and statistics in accordance with the Tourism Act 2011.
It serves as a valuable resource for stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers, offering data and perspective for informed decision-making and policy formulation.
