The commemoration of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) World Tourism Day is held annually on 27th September to foster awareness among the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political and economic value.

The GTA under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture will be celebrating this year’s World Tourism Day at Hohoe in the Volta Region on the theme: “Tourism for Inclusive Growth”.

There will be a health walk and a grand durbar of Chiefs and people.
