The West Africa country has clearly taken a new look at the international community as the visit of Barrack Obama has rightly pointed Ghana as the new destination for both business investors and leisure tourists.

“We are excited about this historical visit” said a young man in Accra who simply identified himself as ‘Obama junior’. He looks in his early 20s, with flattened jaws, not likely to have any ancestral link with the United States President, but insisting to be called Obama, he mimics the American President in speech. “Today, I feel proud to be a Ghanaian. This is for us a defining moment in our history, we need to build on the successes of this visit and make the most of it,” he said.

AfricaNews reporter claimed that at the moment, Ghana airways have more booking in recent times. In Nigeria, the airline patronage has grown and the demand for visits to Ghana has taken a better shape than ever before. “I am a regular visitor to Ghana…. I have made trips to the country since 1979. I can tell you that things have changed. I have watched the country grow in leaps and no doubts the growth will be greater with the visit of President Obama,” stated Mary June, an American born missionary to the West African country.

“Certainly, business will grow; more visitors will be interested in coming into the country because Obama’s visit appears to be the needed endorsement for investors or tourists who want to experience the calm and close nature of Africa” the American missionary noted.
