GTA CEO holds talks with IGP before “December in GH” to reinforce security protocols
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Maame Efua Houadjeto, undertook a working visit to the Inspector-General of Police, COP Christian Tetteh Yohornu, at the Police Headquarters to deliberate on comprehensive security arrangements in anticipation of the forthcoming December in GH celebrations.
The meeting, attended by all Commissioners of the Ghana Police Service, centered on bolstering safety measures across event zones, hospitality centers, entertainment corridors, and high-traffic areas poised to host thousands of local and international visitors.
The CEO commended the Ghana Police Service for its unwavering professionalism and commitment to national safety, a sentiment reinforced by the 2024 Tourism Report, which revealed that 65% of international visitors regard Ghana as one of the safest destinations in Africa.
She emphasized that this reputation for safety remains a cornerstone of Ghana’s tourism appeal and a critical asset for the December in GH brand.
IGP COP Christian Tetteh Yohornu, in response, expressed appreciation for the proactive engagement by the GTA. He assured the CEO of the Service’s full readiness to provide robust security before, during, and after the festivities, noting that the collaboration between both institutions is essential for delivering a seamless, incident-free December experience for all.
The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to deepen coordination between the GTA and the Ghana Police Service as Ghana prepares to welcome visitors from around the world for the biggest annual tourism and entertainment season.
