Tourism Authority calls for event proposals for “December in GH” 2022

Published

The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has announced a call for entries for event organisers and promoters to submit their proposals for inclusion in the calendar of events for the “December in GH” campaign for December 2022.

This comes at a time the Authority prepares for an anticipated increase in international arrivals with the easing of travel restrictions worldwide.

The campaign, being coordinated by the “Beyond the Return” Secretariat, invites all event organisers interested in having their event endorsed as an official ‘Beyond the Return’ programme, to submit formal proposals.

Mr Akwasi Agyeman, Chief Executive Officer, GTA, said event organizers and promoters interested in holding events must consider activities that could engage the global African diaspora, continental Africans and Ghanaians.

He said “the vision is to have events that can bring together the global African community to celebrate the holiday season in Ghana. For the past three years since we launched the ‘December in GH’ programme, Ghana has become the place to be during Christmas”.

Mr Agyeman noted that proposals would only be accepted for events taking place from November 1, 2022, to January 10, 2023.

“An official calendar of events will be released once event organisers have submitted proposals and they have been reviewed by GTA for endorsement,” he added.

Ms Annabelle McKenzie, Manager, “Beyond the Return Secretariat” said “we all know that every December, Accra becomes the cultural hotspot of Africa with so many events, and thousands from the diaspora spending their holidays here,” so this would not be different.

She said Ghana was a diverse and beautiful country with so many places to explore, and encouraged event organisers to consider planning their events, festivals, concerts, and activities in other regions outside Greater Accra.

“We want the ‘December in GH’ vibe to be experienced not only in the capital city, but across the country, and potential event organizers in planning, must ensure their events connect with the major pillars of the ‘Beyond the Return.’”

Ms McKenzie said proposals could be submitted online at www.beyondthereturngh.com/event-proposals/.
The “Beyond the Return” is a ten-year initiative with the theme, “A Decade of African Renaissance,” with seven pillars as its foundation.

Each of the pillars is significant to the mission of continued engagement with the diaspora community as well as continental Africans.

The seven pillars are: Experience Ghana, Celebrate Ghana, Give Back Ghana, Invest in Ghana, Brand Ghana, Diaspora Pathways to Ghana and Promote Pan African Heritage and Innovation.

Stonebwoy 5th Dimension Album will officially release on 28th April, 2023 with a party at Polo Beach Club near Labadi beach hotel in Accra Ghana, the mc for the night is Ogee the Mc and Mensah Junior. The event will start at 8pm.

Stonebwoy has detailed his much-anticipated forthcoming full-length project. On Friday (March 17), the multi-award-winning Ghana-based musician shared a fascinating, symbolism-heavy black-and-white trailer announcing the official name and release date of his album.

Dubbed “5TH DIMENSION,”, the album will arrive as his 5th full-length project on April 28th via DefJam Recordings. It will debut as his first body of work since his historic global signing with Universal Music Group (UMG) label divisions Def Jam Recordings, 0207 Def Jam, and Def Jam Africa back in May 2022 and also come off the back of an already illustrious career of four albums, which includes his debut “Grade 1”, “Necessary Evil”, the billboard-rated “Epistles of Mama” and 2020’s Reggae Ville album of the year, “Anloga Junction”.

The album was written and recorded during exclusive sessions across Europe, America and Africa, where the BET Award winner recruited a to-be-revealed roster of producers, guest musicians, and other collaborators from Europe, the Caribbean, America, and Africa for what resulted in a productive and enlightening series of music sessions. With the album, Stonebwoy aims to merge sounds from his Ghanaian roots with a unique blend of Afrobeats, dancehall, and reggae genres.

Earlier this month, during a conversation with Loop Magazine, Stonebwoy discussed his singles ‘More of You,” “Therapy,” and (released in late 2022). He revealed that both singles will feature on the upcoming album and are “part of the direction in which the album will be heading in.” He also told Vocalo in a previous conversation in February that “the whole album is the lead. Everybody’s going to find their own from it. Everybody’s going to find something beautiful in the album.”

Iconic in musical stature, Stonebwoy has raked in no less than 45 different types of awards for his outstanding contribution to the industry and continues to break new ground with every single, movie, or video release. As an award-winning African artist who has been placing the continent firmly on the musical map with international touring, standout collaborations, and commercially successful singles since 2012. He has duetted with international artists such as Keri Wilson, Sean Paul, Trey Songz, Burna Boy, Alpha Blondie, and many more—and has rocked stages from the UK to the USA, Australia, Italy, Puerto Rico, and Amsterdam—making his electrifying touring an integral part of his career.
