Ghana’s Government through the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzis Gomashie, established a Technical Committee on 22nd April 2026 to accelerate the long delayed Accra Marine Drive Tourism investment project, an initiative designed to attract private investment, upgrade infrastructure and transform Accra waterfront into a modern tourism, leisure and commercial hub.
The Marine Drive Accra is a 241 - acre redevelopment along Accra’s shoreline from Osu Castle to the Kwame in the east to the Nkrunah Mausoleum in the west. It aims to transform the coastal stretch of the Ghanaian capital into a tourism/ business hub featuring a seafront promenade, luxury hotels, shopping malls, art galleries, and dedicated areas for aa cultural village and public parks to celebrate Ghanaian heritage.
The ceremony, held at the Ministry in Accra,
marks a renewed push to transform the Ghanaian capital’s waterfront into a
relevant hub for commerce, leisure and tourism after years of planning and
administrative setbacks.
Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts called on the committee to address bureaucratic bottlenecks and ensure full inter - agency coordination, stating that the project must be expedited an 18 – 24 – month mandate.
The committee chaired by Deputy Minister Yussif Issaka Jajah, brings together representatives from the Ghana Tourism Authority, the Ghana Tourism Development Company, the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, the Lands Commission, utility providers and private sector consultants. Its remit covers technical guidance, implementation oversight, and ensuring the project is delivered on time and within budget.
In essence, the Marine Drive Project is regarded as a flagship government initiative with significant potential to attract private investment, generate employment and revitalise economic activity along Accra’s coastline.
