The event, designed to boost the creative arts and tourism sectors, brought together top leaders, policymakers, and industry players to discuss how Ghana’s economy could thrive beyond the usual working hours.
Key figures at the event included the Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Dzifa Abla Gomashie, the presidential advisor on the 24-Hour Economy, Goosie Tanoh, and respected legal expert, Mrs Betty Mould-Iddrisu. Their presence showed the government’s commitment to making the creative industry more vibrant and financially rewarding.

A successful implementation of the 24-Hour Economy could mean more job opportunities, increased revenue, and a stronger international presence for Ghana’s creative sector.
As conversations continue, industry players remain optimistic about the possibilities ahead.
The hope is that with the right policies and government support, Ghana’s entertainment and tourism sectors will see massive growth, benefiting both industry professionals and the nation as a whole.
