About Accra Weizo Travel Expo
Organized by Akwaaba African Travel Market in collaboration with the Ghana Tourism Authority, Accra Weizo promotes seamless regional travel and fosters stronger connections among tourism stakeholders.
Despite West Africa’s rich cultural heritage and a population of over 400 million people, the region remains one of the least visited in Africa. Accra Weizo aims to bridge this gap by creating opportunities to boost intra-African travel and tourism growth.
