Abla Dzifa Gomashie, Ghana’s Minister-designate for Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts, has proposed a review of the District Assemblies Act to help foster community-driven tourism initiatives across the country.

Speaking during her vetting on January 22, the Ketu South MP emphasized the untapped potential for tourism at the district level. She argued that updating the legal framework could encourage innovation and creativity in local tourism development.

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

In addition, Gomashie highlighted the importance of revitalising Centers for National Culture nationwide, which she sees as essential for nurturing young talent and promoting Ghana’s cultural heritage.

She also noted the sector’s potential to provide valuable opportunities for young people, describing tourism as a source of “low-hanging fruits” for those with creativity and talent.

The Minister-designate expressed her commitment to working closely with stakeholders to ensure tourism becomes a key driver of national development.
