Fashion student Matilda Domfegro crowned 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana

Fashion student Matilda Domfegro was crowned Miss Tourism Ghana 2026 at a colourful grand finale held last Friday at the National Theatre in Accra.

Matilda beat seven other finalists after weeks of challenging activities and grooming. On the night, contestants put their best foot forward as they were tested in key areas including Regional Representation, Specific Tourism Presentation, and a Q&A session, where they showed their knowledge of Ghana’s tourism potential before a panel of judges.

At the end of the keenly contested event, Matilda emerged as the overall winner. Adwoa Nyarko Owusu-Sarfo and Agnes Nuworzah were adjudged 1st and 2nd princesses respectively.

Speaking to The Spectator after her crowning, an elated Matilda said she was excited to wear the crown and was ready to leave a lasting legacy by projecting Ghana’s tourist sites.

She noted that through collaboration with stakeholders and strategic planning, Ghana’s tourism sector could see massive growth.

“Tourism is the mother of all sectors because it has many other industries along its value chain. I call on everyone to come on board,” she added.
