Ghana Day celebrated in China

Beijing, April, 15, Ghanadot/GNA – Ghanaian tourism
practitioners participating in an exhibition in China, the
Ministry of Tourism and Diasporan Relations and the Ghana
Tourist Board on Monday received maximum attention from
other exhibitors and visitors to the China Outbound Travel
and Tourism Market (COTTM) exhibition currently going on in
Beijing.
The Ghanaian officials were overwhelmed by hundreds of
people who thronged the stands to taste Ghanaian food such
as Jollof rice, kelewele and khebab and other delicious
cuisine that were on display.
Mrs Bridgette Katsriku, Chief Director of the Ministry of
Tourism and Diasporan Relations and Mrs Gifty Kwansah, Head
of Marketing at the Ghana Tourist Board, coordinated the
events.
The Exhibitors wore colourful Kente and danced to highlife
tunes which attracted a lot of people to the stand. Many
came asking if they could get copies of the highlife songs.
The exhibitors also presented kente to their interpreters to
enable them to add a Ghanaian touch to their job.
The attractiveness of the Ghana shed made exhibitors from
other countries to abandon their stands to visit the Ghana
stand and enjoy with their Ghanaian counterparts.
One Chinese visitor the GNA spotted enjoying the jollof rice
told the interpreter at the Tourist Board stand that “if you
do not visit the Ghana stand, you did not attend the COTRI
fair.”
