Ghanaian Princess Umul Hatiyya Ibrahim Mahama has urged increased investment in the country's tourism sector. During her 90-day, 6,814-kilometre expedition across all 16 regions, she highlighted issues such as poor infrastructure, sanitation and environmental degradation that deter tourists. "No tourist wants to spend their hard-earned money visiting a filthy village, town, or country," she emphasized.

Princess Umul believes Ghana, with its rich cultural heritage, wildlife, beaches, forests, and historical sites, can become one of Africa's top tourist destinations. After visiting 90 countries on five continents, she confidently stated that Ghana has the potential to join leading tourism destinations like Morocco, Egypt, and Tunisia.

She stressed that attracting tourists would generate jobs, boost businesses, and provide foreign exchange. Princess Umul also aimed to raise GH¢2 million to improve facilities at the Savelugu and Ashanti Schools for the Deaf, emphasizing that funding is for removing barriers, not portraying children as incapable. The expedition generated seven terabytes of video footage to create a documentary series showcasing Ghana's stories and inspiring more people to explore the country's heritage.
