New Book to By Adinkra Group To Make Return Journey to Africa Easier
Diallo Sumbry is the CEO of The Adinkra Group and his book, ‘A Smart Ghana Repatriation Guide’ will be released this month on May 19, 2021. The book promises to give an in-depth look on what it’s really like to move to Ghana. It’s a candid look at the ups and downs as well as the opportunities for success in the country. He leaves no stone unturned in the book which includes contributions from others who have also repatriated to Ghana.
Sumbry first stepped on the continent of Africa in 1988. His first trip was to Senegal and he hasn’t looked back since. His journey to discovering and exploring more of the continent has also taken him to Mali, Morocco, Guinea, the Gambia, Sierra Leone, South Africa and Ghana. He’s been doing this long before the ‘Year of Return’ in 2019 when thousands of people of African descent made the trip to Ghana. Sumbry played a key role in the ‘Year of Return’ campaign that marked the 400-year anniversary of the first documented ship of enslaved Africans to arrive in Virginia, USA.
His company, the Adinkra Group, has been responsible for bringing people of African descent to Ghana through what he calls, the ‘Birthright Journey’. He creates curated cultural experiences that are meant for people who have been yearning to make that trip to the motherland.
He has spent several years in Ghana giving back to communities, working on business projects and getting to know the landscape of the country at the ground level. ‘A Smart Ghana Repatriation Guide’ is an honest blend of personal experiences, lessons, and practical tips that provide a timely contribution to the “Back to Africa” renaissance sparked by the Year of Return and now with its decade-long Beyond the Return campaign.
Sumbry says that his book offers a virtual experience as you read each chapter and use the scannable QR codes that are embedded in the text of the book. He wanted to do this so that the book can come to life in a new and inspiring way.
The book will be released officially on May 19.

Australian High Commissioner to Ghana, Mr Gregory Andrews has handed over field equipment to the Mole National Park in the Savannah Region which is Ghana’s first, largest and most prestigious protected area.
The equipment donated through Australian Aid included high powered capacity long-range drone, 20 GPS equipment, 30 camera traps, two desktop computers with rechargeable batteries, a photocopier machine, books and some personal protective equipment.
The High Commissioner also cut the sod for the construction of two Summer huts at the forecourt of the information center which will fully be funded by him.
The support to the Park and the Rangers especially, has come as no surprise as the High Commissioner during his visit to the Park in October last year promised to return after showing appreciation to the work by the Rangers which he described as dangerous.
Speaking during the handing over ceremony of the equipment, Mr Andrews said, the equipment would help the work of the park to go on smoothly and very effectively.
He said it would be easy to get videos and pictures of the animals and also help in trapping poaching activities in the park.
He added that, the GPS equipment would also help the rangers find their way anytime they get lost in the reserve.
The High Commissioner commended the staff and workers of the Park for their hard work, expressing the hope to see much improvement in their work following the donation of the equipment.
The Manager of the Mole National Park, Mr Ali Mahama, expressed his satisfaction for the kind gesture done by the Australian High Commission which he said is a sign of good relationship between the Government of Ghana and that of Australia.
He described the donation as very timely to deal with the poaching activities in the Park.
The Executive Director of the Wildlife Division, Ghana, Mr Bernard Asamoah Boateng in his address said, Ghana has seven national parks, six resource reserves, two sanctuaries etc which are under the care of the wildlife division with the Mole National Park being the premier and largest after its establishment in 1958 and gazzeted as a national park in 1971 with a size of 4,840km square and is in a process of being listed as UNESCO Global World Heritage Site.
He said the Park has tried to protect its integrity through the support of donor agencies which has been successful and therefore used the opportunity to thank the High Commissioner and the people of Australia for their support.
Mr John Allotey, the Chief Executive Officer for the Forestry Commission who also addressed the gathering during the handing over ceremony said, everything with wildlife in Ghana takes place in the Mole National Park since everything is referred there when it has to do with Wildlife.
He said, due to Covid-19 pandemic, the number of tourists in the Park has gone down and appealed to donor agencies to help brand the Park to increase the number of visiting tourists.
He thanked the High Commissioner for his support and also used the opportunity to appeal to him to strengthen the relationship between Australia and Ghana through the development of a sister city relationship that is focused on ecotourism.
He added that, the equipment received would go a long way to help, especially in data collection and also in getting more information with the nocturnal species in the Park.
Savannah Regional Minister, Mr Saeed Jibril Muhazu was also happy with the support.
He said, the importance of the Park can never be underrated since apart from tourism, it also serves as a source of employment in the region.
He also used the opportunity to appeal for more support from donor agencies especially in the area of housing for the rangers and assured of government full support in the development of the park.
High-tech remote cameras already making impact?
Mr Andrews yesterday tweeted to indicate the discovery of a new animal in the Park, which was made possible by high-tech remote cameras supplied through Australian Aid to the Mole National Park.

He said in his tweet “This is exciting! Look closely. Rangers at @MolePark are already finding new animals with the high-tech remote cameras supplied from Australia. This morning they sent me this photo of what appears to be an albino Duiker. But it could also be a new species. Science will tell”.

Tourism In Volta and Oti Regions To Receive Renewed Boost With Operationalisation of Ho Airport
Tourism in the Volta and Oti regions is expected to get a renewed boost as the Ho receives the test flight that will usher in the operations of commercial flight on the Accra-Ho-Accra route in the coming months. This is expected to open up the hugely unexploited tourism potential of the two regions to help promote both domestic and international tourism to help achieve the Tourism ministry’s revenue target.
Tourist are expected to enjoy a 15-17 minutes travel time between the two destinations cutting travel time via road by about 1 hour and 40 minutes. This is expected to allow tourist to leave visitors to the region with Ghana’s most attractive natural tourist spots.
On Thursday April 15, 2021 a successful flight testing exercise of the facility on was conducted at the Ho Airport. The Chief Operation Officer of the African World Airline (AWA), Captain Kwesi Oteng, successfully landed an Embrarer 145 aircraft which had 36 passengers onboard.
Captain Oteng informed the press that, there was no hiccup during the flight and that conditions were good. He added that AWA was planning to operate two or three times a week from Ho to Accra. He further hinted that, if the patronage of the Ho-Accra commercial flight went well, they would consider beginning connecting flights to other regions as well which would help boost domestic tourism in the country.
The Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State and Executive Chairman Of the African World Airline, Togbe Afede XIV believes the airport would not only accelerate economic growth and tourism but would be instrumental in emergency operations by state agencies. He recounted how the airport had helped deploy security personnel as well as transport accident victims to receive needed medical care.

Beyond The Return: Chappelle Inspired By Stevie Wonder to visit Ghana
In a recent interview on Supermodel Naomi Campbell’s YouTube Series, ‘Unfiltered with Naomi’, Comedian Dave Chappelle said he was inspired by Stevie Wonder to visit Ghana. Chappelle, who has been a comedian for three decades, spoke in the nearly one hour interview about his goals, memories and plans for the future. “I want to build something that lasts beyond me,” he told Campbell. He was thinking about creating something that leaves a lasting legacy.
“Where do want to go? I mean you’ve been around the world,” Campbell asked him. “Stevie Wonder said in the press recently that he wanted to move to Ghana,” he said. Explaining that Wonder has spoken about coming to Ghana many times through the years, he said there was something different about the way he said it this time around. “This last time he said it, what he said was, ‘I’m moving to Ghana so I can be valued and respected more’….it was almost exactly the phrase he used. You’ve got to think that as a Black American, who amongst us is more valued or respected than Stevie Wonder? And the idea that he would feel this way at this stage in his life, and his career….” He also noted that the award-winning singer/songwriter said he wanted to do this for his grandchildren. “To see him decide to make that move, I wanted to go.”
Campbell, who has been passionate about Africa since the mid-nineties when she was introduced to Nelson Mandela, has been on a mission to put Africa in the spotlight. Chappelle said he called her immediately when considering the visit to Ghana and she put him in contact with British-Ghanaian Architect, David Adjaye, who designed the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC. “So we’ve been working together hopefully I’ll build something there,” he said. “I hope to open a comedy club there because I heard there’s none,” he continued. This would be welcome news to all the comedians in Ghana and other parts of West Africa to have a hub that showcases comedy shows in Ghana.

The delegation were welcomed and hosted by the Ghana Tourism Authority under the Beyond The Return Initiative.
The first day of Queen Afua’s trip began with a welcome ceremony at La Palm Royal Beach Hotel. A cultural troupe performed traditional song and dance while Queen Afua and her delegation joined in and danced to the beat of the drums. It was clear the love they have for the motherland Africa.
On their second day in Ghana, the team had a meeting at Jubilee House with the Director of Diaspora Affairs, Office of the President, Akwasi Ababio, Deputy Director of Diaspora Affairs, Nadia Adongo Musah, Deputy Chief of Staff at the Presidency, Emmanuel Adumua-Bossman and the Presidential Advisor on Health, Anthony Nsiah-Asare. Queen Afua spoke to them about her vision for health and wellness in Ghana. She spoke about her best-selling books and how she has helped millions around the world heal their bodies through food.
She presented her products to them and even had everyone sample one that promises to aid and clear the cardiovascular system.
A visit to Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park was an opportunity for the team to learn the history of Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah. Some of the travellers have never visited the African continent and learning about the strides made by Ghana was an eye-opening experience.
Jerry Johnson is an African American who has made Ghana home and saw the need to educate the youth about the history of Black people around the world. He created the Ancestral Wall around his property as a way to honour important historical figures from Africa and the global African diaspora. Queen Afua and her delegation travelled to Prampram to visit the wall and learn some of the history of people they didn’t know about.
For the African American community, a visit to see the dungeons of Cape Coast Castle is an important part of the journey to Africa. It’s an opportunity to experience and connect with their ancestors and to see the spaces where the atrocities took place before the ancestors were taken overseas.
Assin Manso is where the Slave River passes through and a critical part of the journey of healing for diasporans when they come to Ghana. Queen Afua and her team experienced the place where captured enslaved Africans were taken for their last bath before being sold into the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
The team also engaged in a tree-planting exercise to reconnect with the land and honour the lives of those who were taken.
Queen Afua’s best-selling book, The Sacred Woman was recently launched for the twentieth anniversary edition. She had a book reading and signing at the Pan African Writer’s Association House (PAWA), hosted by the Ghana Association of Writers.
Mr. Gbormittah, President of the Ghana Association of Writers was there and he was happy that such an event was their first in a year after the pandemic halted their in-person activities.
Aburi Botanical Gardens is one of the beautiful wonders of Ghana and many tourists take the opportunity to experience the wonder and beauty of nature there. Queen Afua has partnered with Tehuti Films to document her experience in Ghana and used the gardens as a perfect setting to film a scene in her upcoming documentary.
A visit to former President H.E. John Kofi Kuffor, at his home was an honour for the delegation. It was an opportunity for Queen Afua to speak to the former president about her health and wellness system and how she has helped to heal people around the world.
The Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Ibrahim Mohammed Awal, met with the delegation for a breakfast meeting at Kempinski Hotel on the final day of their tour of Ghana. He expressed how impressed he is with the work Queen Afua is doing with her health and wellness teachings. He announced in the brief meeting before breakfast that he was appointing her as Ghana’s Wellness Ambassador.
Minister For Tourism Engages Agency Heads To Strategise To Make Sector Number One GDP Contributor
As part of the the unwavering commitment by the Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture ( MoTAC), Hon. Dr. Mohammed Ibrahim Awal, to make Ghana’s tourism hub a game changer in the economic transformation of H. E. President Akufo Addo’s vision for Ghana’s “Beyond Aid” agenda, a two 2-day retreat was organized for the Management Staff and the Heads of Agencies under the Ministry, at Akosombo in the Eastern Region, from 25-26th March, 2021.
He observed that the Tourism industry was not doing well as expected and indicated his resolve to turn the economic fortunes of the Sector by creating massive employment opportunities for the Ghanian citizenry.
He further expressed his desire to generate 5-Billion Dollars from the Tourism industry by December, 2022.
Dr. Mohammed Ibrahim Awal, intimated that upon his assumption of office, H E President Akufo Addo indicated to him to use his business acumen and entrepreneural skills to change the face of Ghana’s Tourism industry.
The Sector Minister emphasized that he would infuse business perspectives and Strategic Policy direction that would rake in huge financial gains for the Tourism arena.
He further expressed his commitment to make Ghana’s Tourism Sector number one contributor to the country’s GDP from it’s current third place ranking from the economic performance in Ghana.
He further expressed his preparedness to make Ghana an attractive Tourism destination by boosting Tourism, Culture and the Creative Arts segment, given that it is a multi billion dollar industry, which needed to be given an utmost attention it deserved.
He also expressed his resolve to make Domestic Tourism his top-most priority Agenda to attract about One Million local Tourists visitation annually.
Dr. Awal, further entreated the Heads of Agencies under the Ministry to endeavour to always, as a matter of Policy direction have a recouse to him before undertaking any Policy execution of their operations.
The Chief Director of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mr. John Yao Agbeko, earlier in his welcome remarks officially welcome Hon. Dr. Mohammed Ibrahim Awal, for his appointment to the Ministry, adding that the meeting was to also afford the Policy Makers an opportunity to have a deeper knowledge of the Sector-wide performance from the Agency Heads briefings of their activities.

Gov’t targets $5bn Tourism revenue in 2 yrs – Dr Awal reveals at vetting
The Minister designate for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Dr Mohammed Ibrahim Awal, has outlined plans to increase revenue from the sector to $6 billion within the next three years.
Currently, data from the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) indicate that the sector contributed $1 billion to the economy last year, with global projections indicating that the figure could increase to $1.2 billion by the close of the year.
The Minister designate, who made an ambitious $5-billion projection of inflow within his first two years in office when given the nod, insisted that it was very possible, considering the fact that the country raked in $3.3 billion in 2019 due to the Year of Return initiative.
Dr Awal was, therefore, confident that initiatives such as the Year of Return and Beyond the Return, a further improvement of tourist sites and Ghana’s arts and culture would help achieve that target.
Leading foreign exchange earner
He said his plan was to make the tourism sector the number one foreign exchange earner for the country in the next four years.
Ghana’s tourism industry is currently the fourth foreign exchange earner, with gold, oil and cocoa occupying the number one to three positions, respectively.
“Tourism everywhere contributes significantly to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In Ghana, it is the number four foreign exchange earner, but we are determined to make it the number one,” he stated.
Measures to achieve targets
Dr Awal said the targets would be achieved by boosting both domestic and international tourism in the country.
“We are going to boost both domestic and foreign tourism. Ghana has the best in terms of tourist sites; Ghanaian people are warm, have very rich arts and culture and good heritage sites, and we think that when we put our heads together, we can do a lot there, especially internal tourism,” the minister designate said.
He said internal tourism was not much patronised and called on Parliament to champion that cause.
“We want to institute corporate tourism, school tourism, religious tourism, among others,” he noted.
To do that, Dr Awal said, the country would have to improve its arts and culture offerings, since that was the foundation for a strong tourism sector for any country.
“Our national festivals on arts and culture will have to come back. You cannot have a good tourism sector without a good arts and culture background,” he stated.
$20-million studio
Dr Awal also revealed plans by the ministry, under his supervision, to build a $20-million world-class music and film studio, with the support of the private sector.
That, he said, would help position the country as a film production hub in West Africa.
“This is one element that can bring increased tourism into the country. We currently don’t have any serious studio in this country. In Nigeria, the film industry, two years ago, generated $590 million. In Hollywood, the industry generated over $4.1 billion.
“Ghana can do it if we have a studio that produces movies,” he stated.
Promoting festivals
The minister designate also outlined his plans to promote Ghanaian festivals and make them more attractive to the international community.
“Marketing and promotion are very important in promoting Ghanaian festivals. We want to have a comprehensive calendar and programme, worked out with the chiefs and traditional authorities, to market Ghanaian festivals in and outside Ghana and also seek to get sponsorship for these festivals,” Dr Awal noted.
$50-million industry support
The minister designate for Tourism also pointed out that the sector had been the most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
He said statistics available to the ministry indicated that the Ghanaian tourism industry had lost GH¢6 billion since the outbreak of the pandemic.
The former Minister of Business Development said although the National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI) had provided some support for the industry, it was still not enough.
He said the ministry was, therefore, working on a $50-million fund to support the industry.
“What we intend doing is carry out a proper impact assessment, which the GTA is already doing, to look at what we can do. We intend to build the capacities of the players in the sector, give them business ideas and provide funding for them,” he stated.
Dr Awal stressed that anytime a pandemic was over, there was a surge in tourism, saying: “We, therefore, want to use the downtime.”
Marine drive project
The former Business Development Minister also said he would ensure massive participation of the private sector in the Marine Drive Tourism project.
“The Marine Drive Project is very important and a game changer project in Ghana. When I am given the nod, I will look at the details; I am a business development person and I will ensure that the project is accelerated to create jobs for Ghanaians.
“We expect to invest between $8 billion and $10 billion to ensure the project gets underway and I will ensure that the private sector is encouraged to participate,” he said.
