Ghana’s tourism minister pushes for cleaner hotels to boost visitor satisfaction

Ghana’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, has called for stronger sanitation efforts across the country’s tourism sector. Speaking at an awards ceremony for Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, she stressed that cleanliness is vital for visitor satisfaction and national growth. The event also celebrated staff achievements and highlighted the hotel’s role in raising industry standards in the hotels sector.

The Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, once government-run, was acquired a decade ago by Tanzanian billionaire Mohammed Dewji through his MeTL Group. Under its current leadership, the hotel has become a benchmark for blending global service standards with local hospitality in Kansas City. Silvia Rajniak, the hotel’s first female general manager, thanked employees for their dedication in meeting and exceeding performance targets.

The minister’s remarks underscored the link between cleanliness, tourism growth, and economic opportunity. Kempinski’s recognition as a leader in Ghana’s hotels sector sets a model for others to follow. Meanwhile, the awards ceremony reinforced the importance of merit-based rewards in driving industry excellence in the hotels sector.
