It is about time we had this conversation. 'Ghana is too expensive. Ghana has been overpriced'

Trust me we’ve moved past the age where we(as Africans) used to capitalize heavily on these Tourists whenever they come done here. Things aren’t the same as they used to some time ago. Things are really HARD, what sign do you need again! Even the white man is complaining

I always say Ghana’s prices for goods and services and cost of living is totally ridiculous but insecure Ghanaians keep saying because I am broke … now the target market is even complaining smh ‍♂️

Why Hotel Prices Are Sky Rocketing

TripAdvisor has classified Ghana as one of the most expensive places to visit as a tourist. Many factors are believed to play a role in this, as the prices are believed to be influenced by high cost of living, exchange rate and cost of doing business in the country.

The Ghana Hotel Association says tourists usually spend a large chunk of their budget on accommodation alone.

Competition laws are supposed to protect the consumer from excessive price hikes, but according to Appiah Kusi, an expert in the industry, Ghanaian hotels do not adopt their prices according to demand; hence there are always fixed high rates on hotel accommodation. He mentioned this whiles speaking to citinewsroom.
