The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) is expected to construct modern four-star hotels in the Volta, Central and Northern regions by 2030 as part of the government's plans to boost tourism across the country.

This was disclosed by the Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, who said the hotels will support the development of tourism, particularly eco-tourism in the Volta Region and heritage tourism along the Cape Coast and Elmina corridor.

Under the plan, SSNIT will also construct a modern, affordable four-star hotel in Northern Ghana to expand accommodation facilities and support tourism activities in the area.

“Government will grant tax incentives to SSNIT to also build by 2030: a modern, affordable four-star hotel to serve the Cape Coast and Elmina heritage corridor; a modern, affordable four-star hotel in the Volta Region for eco-tourism; and a modern, affordable four-star hotel in Northern Ghana,” he told Parliament.

The announcement forms part of the government's proposed US$1 billion investment in tourism, culture and creative arts under Pillar 5 of the 2027 Budget.
