Ghana’s tourism accommodation market shows sharp regional disparities – GSS
According to the Accommodation Unit Survey covering November 2024 to February 2025, Savannah Region recorded the highest room occupancy rate of 63.7% in January 2025.
The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) has revealed significant regional disparities in Ghana’s tourism accommodation market, with some regions experiencing high occupancy rates while others struggle to utilise available rooms. Savannah Region led the pack with a 63.7% room occupancy rate in January 2025, while Eastern, Bono East, and Volta regions recorded occupancy rates below 28% throughout the four-month period.
Central Region also demonstrated strong demand, maintaining bed occupancy rates above 70% throughout the period. Western Region recorded relatively strong occupancy, peaking at 77.2% in December 2024. Greater Accra, which accounts for the largest accommodation capacity in the country, maintained an occupancy rate between 41% and 48%.
The report highlights the uneven distribution of tourism activity across the country and suggests that having accommodation capacity does not necessarily translate into strong demand.
