Accra, Ghana \u2013 May 15, 2025
\nThe CEO of Kleber Group, Ms. Julia Kleber, has paid a courtesy call on Hon. Abla Dzifa Gomashie, Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, to explore potential partnerships and deepen the group\u2019s understanding of Ghana\u2019s tourism, culture, and arts sector.
\nThe meeting, held at the Ministry\u2019s offices in Accra, focused on fostering collaboration between the Kleber Group and Ghana\u2019s tourism stakeholders, with the aim of promoting investment, improving the visitor experience, and enhancing cultural exchange. The visit reflects Kleber Group\u2019s commitment to identifying opportunities for growth in the African tourism sector by connecting international partners, leveraging targeted marketing strategies, and building sustainable tourism ecosystems.
\nDuring the meeting, Hon. Gomashie highlighted the alignment between Kleber Group\u2019s mission and Ghana\u2019s current tourism development agenda. \u201cTheir idea isn\u2019t too different from what we are looking to do for the industry,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019ve done their research, and it’s clear the top arrivals are from the US due to Pan-African ties, followed by the UK, and then Nigeria, our big brother in the region, with whom we share much in common, even down to the debate over whose jollof is better.\u201d
\nShe emphasized Ghana\u2019s unique cultural strengths, noting that language and heritage play a vital role in the country\u2019s appeal. \u201cOur Ewe language connects us to Togo, Benin, and Nigeria. Through language, culture is carried. If we want to promote regional tourism in West Africa, our cultural and linguistic ties are an asset,\u201d the Minister stated.
\nGhana\u2019s appeal, she said, goes beyond natural attractions. \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for waterfalls, Zambia might be your pick. But Ghana is where you come for festivals, food, music, and Pan-Africanism. We are the motherland, the home for descendants of the African diaspora.\u201d
\nThe Minister also addressed the challenges facing the tourism value chain, particularly the disconnect between service delivery and industry needs. \u201cWe need partners to help us build an ecosystem school, not just a university or technical school, but a place where practical skills are taught in real time: how to serve, how to engage guests, how to elevate the tourism experience,\u201d she opined.
\nShe called attention to infrastructural gaps in communities with high tourism potential. \u201cSome places lack hotels, reception facilities, or even basic areas where visitors can engage with the community. If Kleber Group can help bridge that gap, we would welcome the opportunity.\u201d
\nMs. Kleber expressed her commitment to working closely with Ghana to understand local needs and help shape solutions that enhance the tourism experience while boosting the country\u2019s visibility on the global stage. The visiting group included Hanna Kleber, CEO Kleber Group President, Mawuli Dake, a consultant and Ghazi Abbassi Bensliman,CEO and Founder of Global Rising<\/p>\n
