This initiative, aiming to draw Africans in the diaspora to their ancestral lands, marks a pivotal step in Ghana’s decade-long strategy to enhance tourism and cultural reconnection.
Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, articulated the vision behind this policy, emphasizing Ghana’s aspiration to transform into a “pilgrimage country” for Africans worldwide. “It is something that we are seriously thinking about,” Ms. Botchwey stated, highlighting the ongoing collaborations with various governmental ministries to bring this vision to fruition.
