The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Maame Efua Houadjeto, has announced plans to build Ghana’s first ever amusement park in Cape Coast.
She made this known at the 2025 Ghana-China Business Summit held on June 23, 2025 where she shared new tourism initiatives aimed at making Ghana one of the best tourism destinations on the African continent.
According to her, the amusement park will be the first of its kind in Ghana and is expected to become a tourism attraction for the Central Region.
“We want to create the first Amusement park in Ghana, and we are looking at Cape Coast. We are looking to create the very first state of the art Amusement Park to add to our tourism destination,” she said.
In addition to the amusement park project, Maame Efua Houadjeto also called on both investors to support the development of eco-friendly lodges at some tourist sites.
“We also have the Kakum National Park, we have forest conservation going on there and so I would like people to support us when it comes to building some eco-lodges in that space,” she said.
She explained that discussions are already ongoing with some potential investors who have shown interest in supporting these eco-tourism projects.
“I am already talking to a few people who have shown interest, and putting together some eco-lodges in these places. We are looking at eco-lodges at Mole National Park, eco-lodges at the Kakum National Park,” she stated.
As part of efforts to improve tourism infrastructure, she also revealed that plans are in place to build new event centres in the Central Region and Accra to attract more events.
“We are also looking at expanding the space when it comes to event centres, we are looking at putting one together in Central Region and also putting one in Accra,” she added.
