Tourism plays a pivotal role in the development of any country by luring people to visit natural and sometimes artificially madebeautiful scenic places, a way to push up the revenue base of that country or town.
It is as a result of this that the MP for Bortianor-Ngleshie Amanfrom, Hon. Bright Edward Kodzo has highlighted some untamed beautiful places within his constituency which could be developed for its tourism potentials.
“The area is endowed with variety of tourist’s attraction sites, but unfortunately, little had been done to develop this lucrative income generating industry.” He added.
Speaking to Ghanamps.gov.gh, Hon. Kodzo cited the beaches in the town as being enough to raise the revenue base of the area if well taken care of.
He maintained that the solo shrine forest being managed by the Bortianor Wolomo was also another avenue to develop adding that the forest houses different species of animals in a serene ambiance with a calm river along it.
The MP however assured that the necessary arrangement was being advanced in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and leaders in the sector to quickly explore and develop the tourism potentials within the constituency.
“These sites will soon be the centre of attraction when the necessary facilities were put in place,” he added.
The MP then used the opportunity to call on private individuals and stakeholders in the tourism industry to help the tourism agenda.
