A team from the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), the Ghana Navy, and the Ghana Maritime Academy (GMA) met at the GTA head office on Thursday, June 6, 2024, to discuss the potential for marketing the Centre of the World both domestically and internationally.
The team, a Technical Committee on Maritime Tourism, was constituted following a maiden meeting at the Chief of Naval Staff’s office a few weeks before meeting at the GTA Head Office. The team plans to launch the first commercial cruise tour to the Centre of the World, utilizing two naval ships, on August 4, 2024. The Tour will accommodate hundred (100) participants, comprising individuals from the tourism industry and the public.
The Centre of the World is the exact location where the Greenwich Meridian (zero-degree longitude) crosses the Equator (zero-degree latitude). Notably, Ghana is the closest country to the Centre of the World. This location is approximately 30 hours away from the Ghana Naval base in Tema, out at sea
