The expo will attract over 150 exhibitors, 200 hosted buyers, and 500 trade visitors to participate from across the globe. The event will be crowned with a familiarisation trip to celebrate World Tourism Day.

Aside from showcasing Ghana as a destination of choice for tourism and leisure, the expo also seeks to consolidate Ghana’s leadership position as the gateway to Africa.

It, therefore, offers insights into existing opportunities for business, leisure, meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions in the ECOWAS sub-region via public-private partnerships (PPP).

The expo will address keynote sessions from persons about the industry, detailing case studies from destination marketing companies, tourism trade associations, Fintech, and travel technology.

He emphasized that the contribution of the media to the revival of tourism in the current COVID-19 era cannot be underestimated.

“At this time when countries are trying to revive their tourism, the media has a significant role to play. I take this opportunity to welcome the media to support tourism to bounce back resiliently,” Mr. Okraku-Mantey said.

He also reiterated the government’s agenda to promote domestic tourism as indicated in President Akufo-Addo’s commitment at the launch of domestic and regional tourism on the theme “Experience Ghana, Share Ghana.”

Mr. Okraku-Mantey stated that, “We believe the President’s drive and the Ministry’s commitment to making tourism the number one GDP of Ghana with five million tour arrivals annually, will be achieved with such partnerships as the Inter Tourism Expo.

The Deputy Minister commended the convener and his team for their innovative ideas and hard work, adding that the strategic options to drive sustainable tourism and economic growth in the industry would require multiple approaches and new technologies such as exhibited by the team.
