The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Maame Efua Houadjeto, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with U.S. Virgin Islands Governor Albert Bryan Jr.
The MoU is set to establish a strategic cooperation framework between Ghana and the U.S. Virgin Islands in tourism development, cultural exchange, trade facilitation, and investment promotion.
The agreement was signed at the USVI-Africa Mini Summit at the Westin Beach Resort and Spa, Frenchman’s Reef, in St. Thomas, symbolizing strengthened people-to-people connections and new pathways for sustainable economic growth between Africa and the diaspora.
Governor Bryan emphasized the MoU’s focus on connection, stating, “This memorandum is about more than travel.
