Miss Tourism Ghana holds Regional Costume Competition
Miss Tourism Ghana last Friday organised a Regional Costume Compettition at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra.
All the 16 contestants took their turn on the runway to showcase the various cultural heritage of the regions in Ghana through their fascinating costumes.
Most of the costumes were dominated by festive regalia among other acessories from headgears, footwears, and farming implements.
Speaking at the event, the Director of Operations at Miss Tourism Ghana, Mrs Delphine Brew-Hammond, said this segment of Regional Costume competition was the first of its kind .
According to her, they introduced it to ensure that the contestants who would have the opportunity to represent the country at Miss Tourism World and other international pageant were properly groomed.
She said even though it was the first time, the contestants did it seamlessly which was a good sign of preparedness ahead of the grand finale.
“This was the first time, we asked them to do a bit of research in addition to the training they’ve had from us, and for them to exhibit such performance need to be applauded,” she said.
Mrs.Brew-Hammond expressed her appreciation to all the stakeholders who helped in training the contestants and sponsors for being there for them.
Ahead of the grand finale on August 27 at the National Theatre, contestants will battle each other in Culture Day and Debate, Regional Cooking Contest, GTP fashion show and Read Ghana Night.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
