The event for this year, themed “Marketing in a Disruptive Era”, was graced by many notable marketing gurus from various institutions in the country, and was a celebration of excellence in marketing.

Mr. Akwasi Agyeman was awarded for his exceptional role in marketing Ghana as a tourist hub, especially in his role as coordinator of the “Year of Return” and the “Beyond the Return” initiatives and his leadership in marketing since he was appointed CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority in 2017.
