Promoting Culture and Tourism
Over the years, the Miss Tourism Ghana pageant has established itself as a significant platform for celebrating Ghana’s cultural heritage, promoting the tourism industry, and empowering young women. The event continues to project national pride, youth development, and cultural awareness through tourism.
In her first remarks after being crowned, Christabel expressed gratitude to the organisers and pledged to be a worthy representative for Ghana at Miss Orient Tourism Global next year.
She follows in the footsteps of last year’s queen, Lawrencia Ama Yeboah, who placed second runner-up at the international competition in Malaysia. Christabel is confident of surpassing that achievement by aiming for the crown.
Mrs. Delphine Brew-Hammond, CEO of the Miss Tourism Ghana Organisation, thanked sponsors for their unwavering support in advancing tourism promotion and cultural development through the pageant.
