President John Dramani Mahama of the Republic of Ghana is the one behind the “Black Star Experience” initiative. The goal of this ambitious tourism program is to revitalize Ghana’s tourism, arts, and cultural industries.
The program aims to promote unity and pride among Ghanaians, celebrate African creativity, and highlight the country’s rich heritage. The initiative hopes to draw both domestic and foreign tourists by establishing Ghana as a leading cultural center, which will boost the country’s economy.
The Black Star Experience’s Essential Components:
Pan African Month: This month will be devoted to honoring Africa’s rich cultural legacy while encouraging cooperation and solidarity among African countries.
GFFA will celebrate and highlight the accomplishments of Ghanaian filmmakers and the wider film industry during the Ghana Film Festival and Awards Month.
Ghanaian Heritage and History Month is an opportunity to honor and consider Ghana’s rich cultural heritage and illustrious past.
These programs are intended to guarantee that components of Ghanaian culture are honored all year long, offering residents and tourists alike ongoing chances to interact with the country’s heritage.
Known as “Tourism 360,” this annual event seeks to boost the creative economy, generate employment opportunities, and inspire Ghanaians to value and celebrate their cultural heritage.
The “Black Star Experience” is a comprehensive framework for incorporating culture into Ghana’s national development agenda, not just a collection of events.
From January to December, it highlights the value of embracing and advancing Ghanaian culture, making sure that there is always something to celebrate.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Culture Forum (GCF) has urged President Mahama to appoint a capable minister to spearhead the agenda for the cultural and creative sectors in support of this endeavor.
The GCF highlights the necessity of a thorough framework for the creative and cultural industries, conformity with current laws, and regular research to assess the economic contributions of the sector.
The “Black Star Experience” embodies President Mahama’s goal of bringing Ghana into a “Golden Age of Culture, Arts, and Tourism” by utilizing its cultural resources to promote economic growth and patriotism.
