Ghana and Zimbabwe are to explore avenues through joint programmes that would help to promote tourism between the two nations.
This
was agreed on Tuesday when the Zimbabwean Ambassador Mr Pavelyn Tandai
Musaka called on Ghana's Tourism Minister, Mr Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey in
Accra.
A major issue that was discussed was the possibility of
Ghana International Airline (GIA) flying direct to Harare but no
concrete decision was arrived on that.
The Ambassador officially
invited Ghana to participate in the upcoming Zimbabwean Travel Expo
scheduled for October 2006 and said there was the need for Africa
nations to promote joint marketing strategies in the area of tourism.
Mr
Obetsebi-Lamptey said Ghana had always agitated for the promotion of
multi-destinations tourism in Africa through the removal of impediments
to tourism development by nations.
He said this would pave the
way for further exploration of tourism potentials on the Continent and
make the Sector to champion the cause of growth for most nations.
