The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Kumawu Constituency, Ernest Yaw Anim is urging the government to support the Sekyere Kumawu District to achieve its full tourism potential.
According to him, even though the district has high tourism potential, it has not received the needed attention for its development.
Making his first statement in Parliament since his election, Mr Yaw Anim enumerated the tourism potential the district has which when harnessed could be of great addition to the country’s ailing economy.
“Mr. Speaker, Sekyere Kumawu is a district blessed with an abundance of breathtaking natural wonders. Its most prized treasure, the Bomfobiri Wildlife Sanctuary, stands as a sanctuary for an array of fascinating creatures, encompassing a diverse range of birds, baboons, crocodiles, and buffalos.”
“Furthermore, this sanctuary boasts of an attractive rainforest and a woodland savannah, adorned with plush green vegetation that entices visitors. Additionally, within Sekyere Kumawu, one can discover remarkable attractions such as the Lion Stone – which is a naturally carved stone resembling a lion, the Stone Bridge, and the magnificent Waala Waterfalls,” he said on Tuesday, July 25.
He added that “It is my firm belief that when fully harnessed the potential held within the district can be unprecedented. With such remarkable strengths at its disposal, Sekyere Kumawu has the potential to blossom into a premier tourism destination.”
He has thus urged the government to urgently support the district to achieve its full tourism potentials.
“I implore the government to carefully consider the vast tourism potential held within Sekyere Kumawu and extend the vital support needed to catalyze the growth of the district's tourism industry.
“Moreover, it is crucial to recognise the opportunities and threats that lie ahead for Sekyere Kumawu in the tourism sector. The growing interest in ecotourism presents a promising opportunity, as the world increasingly values sustainable travel experiences,” he stressed.
