Ghana as the center of the world, according to the Tourism Minister, has a lot of untapped business opportunities, especially, in the tourism industry, which if well exploited, could yield high returns. In 2015 tourism and travel directly contributed a total of around GHC4.5 million (more than US $1 million) to Ghana’s GDP. This amounts to about 3.3% of national GDP. Ghana’s meandering coast is dotted with numerous forts and castles. These monuments were built between the 15th and 17th centuries by early modern European chartered companies.

It also means that information on the visa cannot be read when placed under ultraviolet light.
