Assembly injects 350 million cedis into tourism development

Kuntanase (Ashanti Region) 27 July '99

The Bosomtwe-Atwima-Kwanwoma District Assembly has voted 350 million cedis to develop and expand a conference centre and restaurant at the Lake Bosomtwe Basin to enhance tourism.

Mr I. K. Nyame, the Bosomtwe-Atwima-Kwanwoma District Chief Executive, announced this at a meeting of the assembly held at Kuntanase.

The DCE said the Centre would be provided with underground and overhead water tanks, two boreholes and a pipe borne water system.

Existing garages would be converted into guestrooms and the entire conference hall/restaurant site fenced.

Mr Nyame said it was prudent to vote funds into viable ventures to enable the assembly to generate revenue to quicken the pace of development in the district.

Lake Bosomtwe has been identified as a virtual "Goldmine", which when properly promoted and developed could bring additional revenue to the assembly.

The DCE urged assembly members to co-operate with town/area council and chiefs to identify other tourism potentials.
