Blessed with beautiful landscapes, a clean environment, and numerous eco-tourism sites, the district is positioning itself as a key player in Ghana’s tourism industry.

At the heart of this potential is the Ave Crocodile Resort, the first of its kind to be commercialised in the Volta Region. With further investment, this unique attraction could be expanded into a complete resort with modern recreational facilities, drawing visitors from across the globe. Another remarkable natural wonder is the palm tree with multiple branches, a rare sight that adds to the district’s appeal for holidaymakers and sightseers.

Hospitality is deeply rooted in the communities surrounding these attractions. Visitors are warmly welcomed, with guest houses such as Enamsco and Dzorkpata, alongside lively bars in the district capital, ensuring tourists feel at home. These facilities provide the perfect blend of comfort and local culture, enhancing the overall tourism experience.

Despite past challenges in securing development partners, the district remains committed to collaborating with investors to unlock its tourism wealth. Authorities have outlined plans in the Medium-Term Development Plan to strengthen management systems, improve infrastructure, and vigorously market the district’s attractions to attract private capital.

With strategic investment and effective promotion, Akatsi North District has the potential to become a tourism powerhouse, creating jobs, stimulating local businesses, and contributing significantly to Ghana’s growing tourism sector.
