The Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park recorded a revenue of GH¢10 million in 2025 after attracting a total of 266,000 tourists, the Executive Director, Dr Collins Nunyonameh, of the facility has disclosed.
According to Dr Nunyonameh, the figure represents a significant increase in visitor numbers and revenue compared to previous years, highlighting the park’s growing appeal as one of Ghana’s leading cultural and historical tourist destinations.
Domestic tourists made up 75 per cent of visitors, while foreign nationals accounted for the remaining 25 per cent, generating total revenue of about GH¢10 million.
He noted that the figures reflect a steady rise in patronage since the park reopened in July 2023.
He said that in both 2023 and 2024, the park recorded an estimated 333,000 visitors annually, with total revenue in each year coming in at just under GH¢8 million.
He explained that both domestic and international tourists contributed to the surge in patronage, attributing the growth to improved facility management, enhanced visitor experience, and increased promotion of Ghana’s heritage tourism.
Dr Nunyonameh said “We do not have 100 per cent retention of our internally generated funds. So, whatever we make, the government keeps 34 per cent and we keep 66 per cent.
“Even though we had less numbers in 2025 than we did in 2024, our revenue was approximately GH₵2 million more in 2025.”
“The distinction between domestic tourists and international tourists in this park is the price they pay.
The Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, dedicated to Ghana’s first President and a key figure in Africa’s independence movement, remains a major attraction for tourists, students, and researchers seeking to learn about the country’s history.
Dr Nunyonameh expressed optimism that visitor numbers will continue to rise in the coming years, especially with ongoing efforts to upgrade facilities and promote Ghana as a preferred tourism destination.
