The Governing Council of the Ghana Tourism Federation (GHATOF) met today, 13 October 2026, to deliberate on key matters concerning the Federation, challenges affecting Ghana’s tourism and hospitality industry, including the World Cup visa scandal that has dominated public conversation in recent days.
The issue was a key part of the discussions, given the potential implications for Ghana’s tourism industry and the country’s image as a welcoming destination for international visitors.
GHATOF has indicated that it will issue an official statement on the matter soon. The statement is expected to clarify the federation’s position and outline any steps it considers necessary in the interest of the sector and its members.
As the umbrella body representing key players across Ghana’s tourism and hospitality value chain, GHATOF recognises the importance of addressing issues that could affect the sector and public confidence in Ghana as a tourism destination.
