“Football is pursued by an increasing number of people in the world and in Ghana, it’s a big industry beside being an important mass sport,” Deputy Director, Operations of the Ghana Tourism Authority said.

“Football vitalizes the tourism sector and increase patronage of hotels, restaurants, transportation, night clubs, visit to tourist attraction sites and all the tourism value chain which invariably generates employment, increase government revenue and distribute income,” he added.

“We’re ready to make our members available for the promotion of tourism and the development of football.

“I, however, want to end by saying we must not forget our past heroes who did a lot to make this great nation proud,” he added.

President of the GFA Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku who couldn’t hide his excitement, acknowledged the importance of the partnership and described football and Tourism as bedfellows.

“I am pleased to be part of this novel initiative which seeks to espouse football and tourism for a greater cause. President Simeon-Okraku said

“It is no secret that the Sport industry holds the passion of millions of people. We call them FANS – important stakeholders in any sporting activity.

“Fans drive the games; fans fuel the flame of passion in football and fans drive the marketability and commercialization of the game not only local but globally as well“ he added

To him, football and tourism are bedfellows and a proper symbiotic relationship between the two will project the country great and create employment opportunities for the youth.
