The Ghana Tourism Development Company (GTDC) has announced plans to acquire five additional double-decker buses to enhance the Accra by Night Initiative, a governmental project aimed at boosting domestic tourism in the capital city. The initiative, which currently operates with one bus, offers nighttime tours of Accra’s landmarks and entertainment districts on the last Friday of each month.
GTDC Chief Executive Officer Professor Kobby Mensah revealed that the expansion aims to strengthen the program’s capacity to showcase Accra’s cultural heritage and vibrant nightlife. He emphasized that the initiative prioritizes encouraging domestic tourism over profitability, in line with President Mahama’s directive.
Professor Mensah highlighted that the Accra by Night Initiative differentiates itself by showcasing Accra as a safe destination for evening exploration. He urged Ghanaians to support and participate in the initiative, which aims to deliver memorable experiences for patrons.
