Location
Ghana is the fastest growing economy in the world this year and Accra (Ghana’s capital city) is a vibrant metropolis like many other capital cities in the world. Accra’s estimated population is around 4 Million residents. Ghanaians are noted for their hospitality and friendliness and open-arms approach to everything.
Owing to its location Accra features a tropical savanna climate that borders on a hot semi-arid climate. The chief rainy season begins in April and ends in mid-July, whilst a weaker second rainy season occurs in October. Very little variation in temperature occurs throughout the year with an annual average of 27.6 °C
Ghana is a multilingual country in which about eighty languages are spoken. Of these, English, which was inherited from the colonial era, is the official language and lingua franca.
Economic activities in Accra include the financial and commercial sectors, fishing and the manufacture of processed food, lumber, plywood, textiles, clothing and chemicals. Tourism is becoming a thriving source of business for those in arts and crafts, historical sites and local travel and tour agents. The Oxford Street in the district of Osu has grown to become the hub of business and night life in Accra.
