Abstract
Despite growing international tourism and increased domestic interest in traditional Ghanaian foods, agritourism programs remain underdeveloped in Ghana. If Ghana can prepare now for the return of tourists post COVID-19, farmers and agricultural producers will be better suited to capitalize on this growing trend. What’s more, for Ghanaian agricultural suppliers, producers, and vendors up and down the value chain, preparing for and envisioning a prosperous economic future through agritourism will go a long way toward sustaining a sense of hope that life will go on.
