Nana Asamoah Yeboah Afari, the founder of the Royal Senchi Hotel and Resort in Akosombo, has reportedly passed away.
Sources say he died in a hospital in Accra after falling ill on Monday. Details regarding the cause of his illness remain unclear.
This news comes at a time when Ghanaians are mourning the late Akua Donkor, a Ghanaian politician who founded the Ghana Freedom Party (GFP). She was among the presidential aspirants in this year’s polls.
Nana Asamoah was not only known for his role in the hospitality industry but also served as a Sub-Chief in the Akwamu Traditional Area. His death has created a wave of sorrow among community members and industry peers, highlighting the significant loss felt throughout the region.
Renowned for his pioneering efforts in Ghana’s tourism sector, Nana Asamoah was passionate about promoting the country’s rich cultural heritage through his establishment. In a memorable interview with popular YouTuber Wode Maya, he shared that his motivation to create the Royal Senchi Hotel stemmed from his fiancée’s desire for a hospitality venture.
The hotel, beautifully situated along the Volta River, is distinguished by its unique blend of traditional Ghanaian design and contemporary luxury.
