Ethiopian Airlines will up its frequency from Addis Ababa to Accra, Ghana, from daily to 11 weekly, from the end of March.
This is primarily part of its third-wave growth plan of increasing connectivity, choice, and competitiveness.
Ghana is fast becoming an ideal destination for eco-tourists and those wishing to witness first hand community-based eco-tourism projects.
Attractions include the Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary, which is home to troops of the sacred Mona and the Black and White Colobus monkeys. Another important eco-tourism site in Ghana is the marine turtle nesting beaches on the shorelines of Accra, Ningo, the Gomoa-Effutu stretch and Ada Foah to the East and Axim and the people of Amansure in Beyin to the west of the country.
Furthermore, The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) is strongly repositioning its destination tourism offerings to include business and MICE tourists. Attracting a larger share of this important segment requires the Ghana Tourism Authority to affiliate with international MICE bodies and associations that lead the sector at global levels.
All 11 weekly services are non-stop in both directions.
