I Found It! Tourists can upload their own

discoveries of the best places in Ghana into SeeGhana’s Hub and further enrich their own and the other users’ Ghana experience.

This promotes tourism in unknown and hidden areas of regions in Ghana.

The Bush Canteen is a quaint restaurant, popularly called a ‘chop bar’ and a local hangout Lose Your Belt are well known among locals but sadly cannot be found on regular tourist apps.

Big Foot Lodge in the Volta Region is a secluded, quiet resort, hidden from the eyes of the average tourist guide.

Lets talk a bit about the money…

The in-app service, suggested and programmed Itineraries would generate money.

In the long run, we would like to place advertisements for hotels, restaurants, etc. to generate further income.

Ultimately revenue returns to Ghana as more tourists are attracted to the app!

Our app will, in the long run, not only promote tourism in all regions, but will also generate revenue for the country, which in turn can be used for Ghana’s development and connect us to the world.
