Ghana recorded 1,303,962 international tourist arrivals in 2025, generating GH¢4.34 billion in revenue, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts has disclosed.
The figure represents a modest increase from the 1,288,804 international tourist arrivals recorded in 2024, reflecting continued growth in Ghana’s tourism sector.
Tourism Minister Abla Dzifa Gomashie disclosed the figures during the Government Accountability Series on Monday, August 10.
According to her, domestic tourism also remained strong, recording approximately 1.68 million visits in 2025.
“International tourist arrivals reached 1,303,962 people in 2025, which is an increase over the 2024 figure of 1,288,804. Domestic tourism grew to 1.68 million visits. Revenue generated from the arrivals in 2025 is GH¢4.34 billion,” she said.
The Minister also revealed that Ghana’s 10 most visited tourist attractions recorded a combined 1,377,588 visitors during the year, accounting for about 77% of all domestic tourism site visits nationwide.
The attractions are the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, Kakum National Park, Bunso Arboretum Eco Park, Cape Coast Castle, Manhyia Palace, Kumasi Zoo, Accra Zoo, Elmina Castle, Shai Hills Resource Reserve and Aburi Botanical Gardens.
However, Gomashie noted that only three of the 10 most visited attractions are directly managed by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts.
The remaining sites are managed by other institutions, she explained, stressing the need for stronger collaboration among agencies responsible for Ghana’s tourism assets.
She said the latest figures highlight the sector’s growing contribution to the national economy and demonstrate the need for continued investment in tourism infrastructure, attractions and services to unlock its full potential.
