The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has praised Delta Air Lines’ new Accra–Atlanta seasonal service as a clear sign of the country’s rising global appeal.
Addressing dignitaries, partners, and industry players at the launch ceremony at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra on Tuesday December 2, GTA CEO Maame Efua Houadjeto described the new route as “more than an aviation milestone,” noting that it strengthens a historic bridge between Ghana and the African diaspora.
According to Houadjeto, Delta’s renewed commitment highlights Ghana’s growing position on the world map. She added that the service does more than transport passengers — it reconnects families, deepens cultural ties, and expands opportunities for global engagement.
The CEO said the GTA is fully prepared to welcome thousands of visitors during the festive season, announcing that “Ghana is ready, steady, and open to the world.”
She unveiled a packed December events calendar designed to showcase Ghanaian culture, including:
Taste of Culture — a celebration of food, art, music, and creative expression
Highlife @ 100 — honouring a century of the iconic genre that shaped Ghana’s musical identity
The Diaspora Summit — a gathering of innovators, leaders, and Africans from around the world committed to building a shared future
These flagship events will run alongside concerts, street carnivals, cultural parades, culinary festivals, and community experiences nationwide. Digital platforms, billboards, and telescopic banners have already been activated to build excitement.
Mrs. Houadjeto assured the public that the GTA is coordinating with security services, airport authorities, and immigration officials to guarantee a smooth and memorable experience for all travelers.
“Hospitality is not an industry in Ghana — it is who we are,” she emphasised, calling on Ghanaians and the diaspora to embrace the season with unity and pride.
