Mrs Alisa Osei-Asamoah bows out of TOUGHA leadership with Thanksgiving Dinner

After four impactful years at the helm of the Tour Operators Union of Ghana (TOUGHA), Mrs Alisa Osei-Asamoah marked the end of her presidency with a heartfelt Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday, May 25, 2025 at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.

The elegant evening brought together members of the Union, tourism industry stakeholders, close associates and well-wishers in a spirit of appreciation and celebration. It was a fitting farewell for a leader whose tenure was marked by excellence, innovation and a tireless commitment to the growth of not just the organisation that she led, but also, Ghana’s tourism sector.

In her speech, Mrs Osei-Asamoah shared the inspiration behind the dinner,“I am here to express my utmost appreciation to God Almighty for seeing me through my tenure as the President of TOUGHA.”

 She said, “He’s been faithful throughout my administration, and I’m glad you’re here to join me to show my appreciation.”

The evening served not only as a moment of spiritual reflection but also as a platform for honouring those who played key roles in her successful administration. Mrs Osei-Asamoah presented citations and gift packages to individuals who supported her throughout her leadership, in what she described as a gesture of sincere gratitude.

“These people have helped and worked closely with me during my tenure, and I felt it was only proper that I show my gratitude for their help,” she added.

Guests were treated to a sumptuous buffet accompanied by flowing drinks, lively music and dancing that fostered a mood of camaraderie and celebration.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came when the Bono Chapter of TOUGHA presented Mrs Osei-Asamoah with a citation in honour of her outstanding leadership. The citation praised her transformative contributions to the Union and Ghana’s wider tourism landscape.

“Under your stewardship, TOUGHA has flourished as a beacon of advocacy for a regulated and sustainable tourism industry. Your visionary guidance has not only elevated the standards of the Union but has also significantly contributed to the enhancement of Ghana’s tourism landscape,” the citation read.

It concluded with a message of admiration and hope: “We, members of the Bono Region, extend our heartfelt gratitude for your exemplary service and leadership, and we look forward to your continued contributions to the growth and development of Ghana’s tourism industry.”

Adding to the honours, the Advisory Board leadership, which served alongside Mrs Osei-Asamoah during her tenure, also presented her with a citation on behalf of the Union, recognising her exemplary service and leadership.

As Mrs Alisa Osei-Asamoah steps into a new chapter, her legacy as TOUGHA’s immediate past president remains firmly etched in the hearts of those she led, inspired and empowered. Her tenure will be remembered for its strategic vision, strong advocacy and unwavering passion for tourism development in Ghana.
