Ghana Ranked 4th Best Among 46 Places To Visit In 2013 By New York Times



Visit Accra
It feels good to know that Ghana is listed in the minds and books of many people when it comes to places to visit, for reasons such as the country’s peace, hospitality of its people, beautiful tourist attraction sites and it being the gateway to West Africa-business and pleasure! (For those of you that still don't know... I am of Bahamian<Bahamas0, Nigerian and Ghanaian descent...*tongue out*)
In a recent article by the New York Times, Ghana was listed 4th about the 46 places recommended to visit in 2013. And this is what was written about Accra-Ghana…


“Accra, the capital of Ghana, has welcomed business travelers for years. Now tourists are streaming in, a byproduct of the fact that the country has Africa’s fastest-growing economy and is also one of its safest destinations. The Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel (with poolside bar and waiters on roller skates opened in 2011, and the Marriott Accra — the chain’s first sub-Saharan offering — will feature a casino and upscale shopping when it opens in the spring. On Accra’s packed beaches, you’ll see everything from snake handlers to plantain peddlers. Head to the upscale neighborhood of Osu and hit the treehouse-inspired terrace at Buka for fine West African food. The best Ghanaian adventures start with a giant plate of tomato-smothered tilapia and banku — a fermented yeast paste that’s tastier than it sounds — washed down with local Star beer. — Karen Leigh”
GREAT RIGHT?
