Ghana's tourism sector saw a significant boost in 2025, with an estimated $4.34 billion generated from 1.3 million international tourist arrivals, according to the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Dzifa Abla Gomashie. This marks an increase from the 1.288 million international arrivals recorded in 2024. Domestic tourism also grew by seven per cent, with 1.79 million visits in 2025, up from 1.68 million in 2024.
The top 10 tourist attractions in the country collectively attracted 1.377 million visits, accounting for about 27 per cent of all domestic tourism site visits nationwide. While three of these attractions are directly managed by the Ministry, the others fall under various institutions. Ms Gomashie also revealed progress towards establishing a Creative Arts Fund, which aims to boost production, enhance content quality, and create jobs.
Additionally, a German theatre group donated a 40-foot container containing lighting and sound equipment to the National Theatre, which has a 2026-2030 strategic plan to improve its management and contribution to Ghana's tourism, culture, and creative arts industries.
