HOW TO Guide
Introduction to tourism in GhanaWELCOME TO GHANA !

Indeed, you are abroad every day when you leave the office (well in the office too maybe!) so each evening and week-end is an opportunity to enjoy this foreign land and do things that are different than at home. Print We advise to own the full range of guide books available in Ghana. It will both let you have the largest possible amount of information and allow you to recoup it.

...and your fellow Expatriates Remember that expatriates are a great source of information as well. The foreign community in Ghana is large and diversified, not dominated by one national group, like the French in Ivory Coast, so the accounts of domestic trips you can hear are very varied. Listening to other’s experiences in Ghana is always great learning and a good source of tips. When meeting and talking with another expatriate, go beyond the usual “where are you from”, “what do you do” and “how long have you been here”...! Beside detailed and practical information about domestic tourism, always ask expatriates who have experience with Ghana what they think of the country, its people and what general advice they can give you. What you will be told will generally be very interesting as such and this diverse information put together will help you benchmark your own and evolve in your knowledge of and opinion about Ghana. |
