District Assemblies Act should be reviewed to improve tourism – Dzifa Gomashie

Minister-designate for Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, has suggested a review of the District Assemblies Act to encourage community-specific tourism initiatives.

During her vetting on Wednesday, January 22, the Ketu South MP highlighted the potential for improvement in tourism at the district levels, suggesting that an updated legal framework could foster innovation and creativity in local tourism.

“The District Assemblies Act should be reviewed, and as a lawyer, I’ll need your help on that. The district assemblies have the opportunity to each develop tourism specifically for their communities,” she stated.

She also underscored the need to revive the Centers for National Culture across the country, seeing them as vital hubs for nurturing young talent and showcasing Ghana’s rich cultural heritage.

Highlighting the potential for tourism to create opportunities, she described the sector as a source of “low-hanging fruits” for young people with talent and creativity.

Gomashie further expressed her readiness to collaborate with stakeholders to ensure the tourism sector becomes a vibrant contributor to national development.
