• Abrewanana finally takes a test drive in her car
The Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) came alive last Sunday, November 27, 2022 during the grand finale of Miss Golden Stool 2022 contest.
Keenly contested, everyone was optimistic of driving home the brand new Hyundai Elantra, winning the ultimate prize money and taking home souvenirs from sponsors.

Sooner than later, the Master of Ceremonies (MC), mentioned a third-year student of the Institute of Business Management and Journalism (IBM&J), Abrewanana, from Mim who represented Ahafo, as the Miss Golden Stool 2022 winner.
For her prize, she took home a brand new Hyundai Elantra, GH₵7,000 and souvenirs from sponsors.
At the end, Obronii, who represented the people of Offinso Ayakaso in the Ashanti Region, occupied the first runner-up position, taking home GH₵5,000.
Osiabou, from Juaben Ati in the Ashanti Region, ended up as the second runner-up, receiving GH₵4,000 as her prize.
Speaking to The Spectator, the Queen, Abrewanana, said this would afford her the opportunity to execute her project of touching the lives of single mothers.
According to her, the aim of her project is to empower single mothers to cater for their children to positively impact the society.
She expressed appreciation to all those who voted for her to win the contest, adding that she would continue to count on them.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Group Jay & Jay, the organiser, Sally Akua Amoakowaa, congratulated all the contestants for a good show, and told the finalists that this should not be the end of the road for them.
“There are a lot of avenues the platform has given you, so make use of it rather than throw their hands in despair,” she added.
Akua Amoakowaa expressed appreciation to her team for their dedication and the sponsors for their immense contribution in making the event a success.
At the final show, the contestants exhibited their talents, culture and intelligence through the various phases of the competition.
In all, there were 15 contestants who represented Eastern, Western, Bono, Ahafo, Ashanti and Central regions; seven were evicted, with eight making it to the finals.

Miss Tourism Ghana contestants battle out on Debate and Culture Night

It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
