Ghana’s Tourism Sector Attracts GHS15.42 billion from International Visitors

The Ghana Statistical Service has released the first set of reports from the Ghana International Travellers’ Survey, covering inbound same-day and inbound overnight visitors. The timing of the release coincides with the global commemoration of World Tourism Day on 27th September 2025. The reports provide the most comprehensive baseline data on international tourism to date and will serve as the foundation for Ghana’s first Tourism Satellite Account. This represents a significant step in quantifying tourism’s direct contribution to national development and aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals as well as Ghana’s long-term Tourism Development Plans.

Launching the reports, the Government Statistician, Dr. Alhassan Iddrisu, emphasised the economic importance of tourism. He stated, “Tourism is not just a cultural and social asset, but a driver of jobs, investment, and growth. These reports provide evidence to shape policies, attract private sector partnerships, and strengthen Ghana’s position as a leading tourism destination.”
