  "account": "Ghana's accommodation sector experienced a notable decline in revenue per available room (RevPAR) between November 2024 and January 2025, according to the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS). RevPAR dropped from GH¢603 in November to GH¢490 in January, marking a 19% decrease. This decline was accompanied by a drop in room occupancy, which fell from 46.6% in December to 44.1% in January. The Average Daily Rate (ADR) also decreased from GH¢1,351 in November to GH¢1,112 in January. Despite these challenges, the sector saw a modest recovery in RevPAR in February, reaching GH¢524. Greater Accra region led in revenue generation, recording the highest RevPAR of GH¢1,165 in November, which fell to GH¢852 in January but recovered to GH¢935 in February. The GSS emphasizes that the industry's challenge lies not in adding more rooms, but in improving the utilization of existing capacity. They recommend that tourism authorities and businesses focus on occupancy, pricing, RevPAR, guest mix, and length of stay when making investment and operational decisions. The report cautions that the data covers only four months of a 12-month program and should be viewed as an emerging baseline rather than evidence of long-term trends.",
