Ghana has joined the Sustainable Tourism Eliminating Poverty (STEP) Initiative
Ghana has joined the Sustainable Tourism Eliminating Poverty (STEP) Initiative as one of the founding countries to begin a new international organization responsible for promoting world sustainable tourism development.
Mrs Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, Minister of Tourism Culture and Creative Arts spoke about Ghana’s reason and decision to join at the inauguration of STEP International at FITUR International Tourism Fair in Madrid.
She said Ghana has already benefitted immensely from the old STEP Foundation, where Ghana received 27 libraries built across the country.
Also, through the assistance of the UNWTO Ghana had also benefitted from a $100,000.00 project to improve the visitor facilities at Nzulezu water stilts and would be completed by June 2016. The objective of the project was to promote visitation and spending by visitors thereby increasing the job opportunities in the area.
The improvement of visitor facilities at the stilt would add value to the experience of visitors to the site.
The UNWTO Sustainable Tourism – Eliminating Poverty Initiative (STE-P) promotes poverty alleviation through the provision of assistance to sustainable development projects.
The initiative focused on enhancing the Organization’s longstanding work to encourage sustainable tourism in terms of social, economic and ecological activities that specifically alleviate poverty, deliver development and create jobs for people living on less than a dollar a day.
