This event is anticipated to boost overall business performance across the country. The event has clear and concise procedures and plans to promote tourism and the Oxygen city idea of the local town. The organizers and sponsors of ‘expo 22’affirms that event was held at the right time when Ghana is still experiencing economic problems and anticipates overcoming them.
They revealed that the Municipality had already been endowed with some tourism resources such as Takla Crocodile Pond, the Ancient War Cave at Kleve, Gravesites of German Governors, Vadzidzi Waterfalls at Kleppe, and many more. Although the Expo had a target of more than two hundred exhibitors across the whole nation, only two hundred exhibitors had already registered.
According to Hon. Divine Basson’s profits and benefits that will be reaped from this event will be used to build the “500 Steps Oxygen City Project”. The construction is reserved to take place at the historical mountain in the Municipality where the home of one of the German Deputy Governors is situated, the Galen Quito Mountain. Bosson said, “In the days of old, there was something called School Farm where every school had a farm from preschool to secondary. So why can’t we have a similar thing so that schools can sell it to the government to be used to feed them, or to be used to cushion them when that of the government delays”.
He insisted that the Expo is determined to sell the Municipality to the locals and the international community to encourage them to do business in the Municipality. Hon. Divine Basson revealed that there are so many investment opportunities available in the real estate sector due to its significant housing deficit.
