The “Year of Return, Ghana 2019” marked the beginning of a significant campaign in Ghana, encouraging members of the black diaspora to reconnect with their roots and explore new opportunities within the country.
Since its inception, Ghana has witnessed a notable influx of both diaspora and foreign visitors, particularly during the festive season.
Prominent figures, including WWE champion Kofi Kingston, Idris Elba, Boris Kodjoe, Usher, Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, and Chance the Rapper, have made high-profile visits to Ghana following this initiative.
The tangible benefits of the campaign have included increased tourism revenue, investment deals, collaborations across various sectors, and a stronger sense of connection for the African diaspora.
The “Ghana-Diaspora Property Festival” stands as a groundbreaking event that unites members of the diaspora community with real estate developers to explore investment prospects in Ghana. The event aims to attract premier local and international real estate developers to showcase their properties on a global stage. Additionally, it serves as a comprehensive hub for all things related to property, encompassing building materials, sanitary ware, interior decor, furniture, and properties.
The inaugural edition of this festival is scheduled to take place in the vibrant city of Accra in December 2023. The event anticipates the participation of foreign and local exhibitors, real estate developers, suppliers, construction firms, banks, insurance companies, and more. By bringing together these diverse professionals and exhibitors, one of the festival’s primary goals is to foster business collaborations and investment opportunities.
The festival promises a vibrant display of cuisine, culture, and musical performances, expected to draw thousands of attendees from both the diaspora community and the local populace.
Ghana offers a multitude of compelling reasons for investment, including political stability, favorable returns on investment, accessibility, a rapidly growing market, and enticing incentives.
