Expressing support for the new initiative, head of Google Ghana Country, Estelle Akofio-Sowah said "We are excited about the opportunity this initiative offers. Tourism is a sector driven by information. Coming online presents an opportunity for hotels, resorts and other businesses within the tourism industry to share their services with the world. Through the information, pictures and videos found online, Ghana can tell the world its story as the "gateway to Africa."
