She called for increased investment in Ghana\u2019s cultural heritage, creative industries and tourism infrastructure to drive economic growth, create jobs and improve livelihoods.<\/p>\n

She highlighted the potential of Ghana\u2019s heritage sites, Kente aka Kete, Fugu, Highlife Music and Dance, Gastronomy and Festivals to attract visitors and create business opportunities.<\/p>\n

She also highlighted ongoing efforts to restore selected forts and castles, strengthen cultural preservation, protect intellectual property and promote Ghanaian creativity on the global stage.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Mr. Franklin Cudjoe thanked the Ministry for receiving them and throwing light on the scope of work done and the projections into the future of the sector.<\/p>\n

The team from IMANI included Selorm Branttie, Kay Codjoe and Meme Princess Umul Hatiyya.<\/p>\n
