Speaking at the South African Tourism West Africa Corporate Engagement 2024 in Accra, she emphasized AfCFTA's potential to boost intra-African trade and economic growth.

She highlighted tourism's role in fostering business ties, sustainable development, and job creation. The event, which also addressed increasing travel demand, encouraged collaboration between Ghanaian and South African businesses, with a focus on responsible tourism aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
