How independent are the tourists who chose Ghana as a holiday destination?

Tourism is becoming the buzz word in Ghana these days. The Government and various groups are focusing on cashing in our 50th birthday celebrations. Is the Government taking actions?

Have we achieved the key stages of a sort of developments to attract the tourists in the last 49 years of our independence?
While many communities are actively improving their underdevelopment others are just waiting for the Government with commnuity developments.

Ghana is blessed in so many ways. We have adequate good drinking water in many areas, a sort of adequate electric supply, good weather and a warm crowd of people.

What is the missing gap in our development?

 Lack of bridges on many of our rivers to bring communties closer together

 Limited Street management strategies-

 Lack of Road Sign posts to communicate with the motorist

 Lack of tourists information centres

 Lack of good infrastructure

 Lack of basic services for villages

 Lack of an effective transport systems, Clear Trotro stops for passengers

 Lack of a regular clean up in all our cities and the communities

 Lack of road map for all areas.

 Lack of sense of an effective road directions.

 Lack of security or quick response from the police to make the tourist safe- though communities do provide this unofficially
This is become clear why many tourists do need a tour guide most of the time. Or are they independent? All these issues needs to be of a priority before Ghana could even start thinking of any advertisement of tourism.
