The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), in collaboration with the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly (KoKMA), has reopened the Nationalism Park to boost tourism and promote cultural heritage.
The park was officially commissioned on December 2, 2024, by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo‑Addo.
Mr Ben Anane Nsiah, Deputy Chief Executive for General Services, GTA, said the Nationalism Park represented more than a physical site as it fostered national pride and strengthened the tourism sector.
“Tourism is no longer a soft sector. It is a strategic economic pillar, driving jobs, attracting investment, strengthening cultural diplomacy and projecting Ghana to the world,” he said.
Mr Nsiah described the park as a living symbol of Ghana’s identity, resilience and shared history, noting that it told the story of who Ghanaians were, where they had come from and the vision that united them.
He said the Authority was repositioning tourism to deliver measurable national impacts in line with the policy direction of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts.
Mr Nsiah emphasised that tourism worked best through collaboration, adding that the reopening of the park supported the Ministry’s goal of preserving heritage, making better use of national assets and improving Ghana’s tourism appeal.
“Tourism does not succeed in isolation. It grows through shared responsibility, strong partnerships and focused execution,” he said.
Mr Nsiah said that GTA remained committed to protecting and promoting heritage sites, working closely with stakeholders, improving competitiveness and positioning Ghana firmly on the global tourism map.
