The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), has launched the 2025 edition of December in GH at a colourful ceremony held at the Banquet Hall of Jubilee House in Accra.

It marked the official start of Ghana’s festive end-of-year calendar, a celebration that has grown into one of Africa’s biggest showcases of culture, music, and heritage.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the GTA, Maame Efua Houadjeto, highlighted the growing impact of the December in GH initiative in positioning Ghana as Africa’s preferred holiday destination.

She noted that the 2025 edition would build on past successes by strengthening collaboration among the creative, hospitality, and events sectors to deliver world-class visitor experiences.

The Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Madam Abla Dzifa Gomashie, reaffirmed government’s commitment to develop the creative economy as a key pillar of national growth.

Delivering the keynote address, Mr Julius Debrah praised the initiative’s contribution to national branding and its positive impact on small and medium enterprises within the tourism value chain.
