A total of six hundred and sixty five (665) Ghanaians have been scheduled to visit parts of the world through “The Power of 8” tour promotion, an initiative of Adansi Travels Limited.
The tour package was launched in April this year by the company which is Ghana’s leading tour operator as part of the 8th Anniversary of the company.
Speaking in an interview with journalists before departure, Managing Director of Adansi Travels, Gideon Asare said “Even though the total number fall short of the targeted 800 people, the team at Adansi is very excited about the turn out and wishes to thank all who have been supporting this initiative.
It is noteworthy to mention that all those visiting Dubai as part of this initiative, will get the opportunity to enjoy authentic Ghanaian highlife musical performance from Kuami Eugene, the VGMA Highlife Artiste of 2021” he said.
The power of 8 tour kicked off on Sunday 8th Aug, 2021 with 3 flights departing from Ghana, having over 130 passengers from the power of eight. The flights included Ethiopian Airline, Rwandair, and Emirates.
Among the countries all the outbound Ghanaian tourists would visit are Dubai, Kenya, Maldives, and parts of Europe.
In all, Adansi Travels is expecting about 500 people to visit Dubai, Nairobi, Kigali and Addis Ababa.
Whereas 130 people would visit Europe whilst 35 people would visit Maldives.
The MD said they are doing their possible best to market the tourism potential of Ghana across the globe and the best example they could easily employ to do this, was to make “The Year of Return initiative” an example in marketing Ghana.
“It is not surprising that Rwanda sponsored Arsenal Football Club for a similar mileage. With a master stroke, Adansi Travels is poised to promote Ghana with more than 600 Ghanaian ambassadors leaving the shores of Ghana as they travel around the world.
As they export Ghana music abroad, it may eventually drive traffic back to the country and boost the inbound tourism in Ghana.
The company has also eulogized Lynx Entertainment for their partnership and support to make this happen. Happy 8th Anniversary to Adansi Travels” Gideon Asare added.
