INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
RELATED TO TOURISM
The increasing number of tourists and
the evolving profile of today’s traveler
demand a host of new tourism offerings
and infrastructure projects. A wide
spectrum of investment opportunities
arise out of Ghana’s long-term
tourism plans. Marine Drive Project
Development involves super structures
and infrastructure at the beach front in
Accra. It seeks to plan and develop the
entire parcel of land, stretching from
the Osu Klottey lagoon (behind the
Christiansburg Castle) to the Accra
community centre, covering an area of
215.7 acres.
Marine Drive Plan: It plans to
decongest the city centre of non-
conforming uses and re-instate a
new land use structure befitting the
capital city; Intensify the use of land
to be consistent with the high values of
land and also counteract the apparent
scarcity of land in Accra; and Create
an environment to attract high levels
of investment in the city centre.
It is also re-zoning the stretch of land
into a tourism enclave to build Hotel
Resorts, Craft village, Golf course,
Restaurants, Coastal reclamation,
Christianborg castle, etc.
