Ghanaian actress and television personality, Cecilia Gyase Konamah affectionately, called Abena Ghana, is set to touch lives with her Europe edition of ‘The Journey’ show.
This edition which focuses on Ghanaians in Belgium started airing yesterday on Adom TV at 11.30am.
The programme which is a talk show focuses on the stories of people who have had great life experiences worth sharing to inspire others,
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro, Abena Ghana said, the new episode was to educate, motivate, and inspire viewers to know that success was achievable if one puts in hard work.
“Some of the stories are how hard it was for them to travel outside the country, how some of them got their passports as citizens in Belgium and the hustle they went through to achieve all they have now,” she revealed.
She said the viewers should expect more stories from the diaspora on how life is treating those there and also how they survive abroad.
Touching on the impact since the inception of the programme, she said, “We always receive good comments from the viewers and some sharing their life struggles and sometimes how it relates with some of our guests’ stories and gives them hope for the future.”
“Special thanks goes to Adom TV for been with us all these years. Also to all my sponsors on the show like Time Herbal Mixture, Medimafo Herbal Hospital, Givers Clean Care, Nyadua Herbal Mixture, Konamah Entertainment and CEO Noks TV Africa in Belgium for making this season possible,” she added.
Abena Ghana also expressed appreciation to Queenie Shipping, Dennaac Travel Consult, Anniluv Shapewear, King Solomon Trading and Macdens Eectricals in Belgium who made this season possible.

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.
