According to her, the scheme has been launched to strengthen the industry which has been severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
She said the scheme is under the Ghana Tourism Development Project, a world bank funded project.
“There is the GHS 1 billion stimulus package launched by the President to support Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME) affected by the novel Coronavirus pandemic. There is also a GH¢3 billion Cedis facility for larger businesses. All these are available to our industry. So if you are a player in our industry you can apply to access these funds.”
One thousand Small and Medium Sized Enterprises are expected to benefit from the US$9 million dollar Grant Scheme.
The beneficiaries to be supported under the scheme comprise mainly Ghanaian indigenous businesses in the tourism value chain, including micro businesses that employ between 1 to 5 persons, small businesses that employ between 6 to 30 people, and medium businesses that employ 31 to 100 people.
Interested enterprises are to visit www.motac.gov.gh or www.visitghana.com to begin their application process for the grant. Read Full Story
