Countdown Africa has officially joined the Ghana Tourism Marketplace (GTM), Ghana’s national Digital Tourism Platform
The event was registered on GTM ahead of its historic December 31 celebration, marking a strategic move to formally position Countdown Africa within Ghana’s tourism and cultural events ecosystem.
Countdown Africa is founded and led by Akua Kufuor, Chief Executive Officer of AKvance, whose leadership and vision have shaped the event into a globally recognised New Year’s Eve celebration. The event, which would draw a distinguished international audience of dignitaries, creatives, and cultural influencers, underscores its growing global relevance and highlights Ghana’s rising influence as a cultural and creative hub on the world stage.
