According to him, the authority could open some of its tourist attractions to students for free on occasions such as World Tourism Day as a way of promoting these sites. For his part, the regional manager of the GTA, Mr Peter Theophilus Achampong, said the authority helped schools to form tourism Clubs where the members were given special discounts whenever they visited any tourism facility. He said the Authority was also trying to extend the formation of the tourism clubs to tertiary institutions so as to sustain the interest of students in tourism. The students who took part in the debate were presented with certificates of participation.
