The Beyond the Return Summit, themed Beyond New Horizon, took place at the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) head office in Accra on Monday, December 23, 2024.
This dynamic business summit is designed to build on the successes of the “Beyond the Return” program and chart a course for the next five years.
The event brought together local and global business leaders, public officials, entrepreneurs, and industry experts to explore opportunities, forge partnerships, and drive sustainable economic growth in Ghana and the African continent through the framework of the Return initiatives.
“Beyond the Return” has been a pivotal program under the NPP government, following the success of its predecessor, the “Year of Return.”
It has not only boosted tourism but also fostered cultural exchanges and economic growth, positioning Ghana as a hub for the African diaspora.
Some of the dignitaries that attended the seminar included the outgoing Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Mark Okraku Mantey, CEO of the Ghana Tourism Authority Akwesi Agyeman, and Hon Khalid Kamau.
In his keynote address, Mark Okraku Mantey stressed that the Beyond The Return initiative structured around seven transformative pillars has been a beacon of success.
