Expressing support for the new
initiative, head of Google Ghana Country, Estelle Akofio-Sowah said "We
are excited about the opportunity this initiative offers. Tourism is a sector
driven by information. Coming online presents an opportunity for hotels,
resorts and other businesses within the tourism industry to share their
services with the world. Through the information, pictures and videos found
online, Ghana can tell the world its story as the "gateway to Africa."
“The extended impact of this is that
as the tourism sector grows, it will also positively impact other sectors in
Ghana," he added.
