On January 5, the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) generously contributed to Failatu Abdul-Razak’s cook-a-thon by donating Gh$10,000 and bags of rice, cooking oil and water.

Mr. Angelo Yossi Dogbe, the Northern Regional Director of GTA presented a cheque for the specified amount to Failatu’s Manager in Tamale.

He revealed that Zaina Lodge, situated within the Mole National Park, had a special package for Failatu post-event.

Highlighting the extra gesture, Mr. Dogbe shared, “Zaina Lodge inside the Mole National Park has pledged a two-day stay valued at over $1,000 for Failatu and her family following the conclusion of the event.”

Commending Failatu, he acknowledged her role in attracting an audience to witness the culinary delights and rich culture of the northern region and encouraged tourists to explore the area.

In recognizing the significance of Failatu’s cook-a-thon, the GTA not only provided financial support but also leveraged the event to promote the northern region’s unique offerings, with the added promise of a luxurious retreat for the dedicated cook.

This collaborative effort underscores the importance of cultural celebrations in fostering tourism and showcasing the diverse richness of Ghana’s culinary traditions.
