In a significant boost to Ghana’s tourism sector, the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has welcomed Delta Air Lines’ new Accra–Atlanta seasonal service, describing it as a strong endorsement of the country’s growing global appeal.
Speaking to dignitaries, partners, and industry stakeholders at the launch ceremony, GTA CEO Maame Efua Houadjeto called the new route “more than an aviation milestone,” emphasizing that it reinforces the historic connection between Ghana and the African diaspora.
According to her, Delta’s renewed commitment highlights Ghana’s rising status as a global hub. She added that the service goes beyond transporting passengers—it reconnects families, strengthens cultural ties, and expands opportunities for international engagement.
Mrs. Houadjeto assured that the GTA is fully prepared to welcome thousands of visitors during the festive season, declaring, “Ghana is ready, steady, and open to the world.”
She also unveiled a packed December events calendar designed to showcase Ghana’s rich cultural heritage. Highlights include:
- Taste of Culture, celebrating food, art, music, and creative expression.
- Highlife@100, honoring a century of the iconic music genre that shaped Ghana’s identity.
- The Diaspora Summit, bringing together innovators, leaders, and Africans worldwide to build a shared future.
These flagship events will run alongside concerts, street carnivals, cultural parades, culinary festivals, and community experiences across the country. Digital platforms, telescopic banners, and billboards have already been activated to build excitement.
Mrs. Houadjeto emphasized that the GTA is collaborating closely with security services, airport authorities, and immigration officials to ensure a smooth and memorable experience for all travelers. “Hospitality is not an industry in Ghana—it is who we are,” she said, urging Ghanaians and the diaspora to celebrate the season with unity and pride.
With Delta’s new route enhancing international access and the GTA’s ambitious festive program, Ghana is positioning itself as the heartbeat of African celebration this holiday season.
