The District is endowed with a huge potential for Tourism development.  There are numerous tourist attractions that, if properly developed and packaged, could attract a lot of tourists to the District.  These include Historical sites like, the first President’s (Dr.  Kwame Nkrumah) birth place and original burial tomb at Nkroful, 70kms of sandy Beaches that boarder the south of the District, the  navigable Ankobra River that links the northern and southern parts of the District through river transport, the Wetlands and the famous Kundum Festival celebrated by all the Chiefs and people of the District.  The presence of developed beaches like Ankobra Beach Resort serves as tourist destination which helps boost economic activities.

The Assembly must be supported to identify and facilitate the development of these potentials through Public Private Partnerships (PPP). This would create employment and enhance revenue generation in the District. It will also open up the district to investment in the hospitality industry leading to the creation of various employment opportunities.

The recent emergence of the Oil and Gas in the Western coast of Ghana and the Operation of mining companies such as the Adamus Resource Limited has great potentials for the development of hospitality facilities (hotels) and beach resorts in the coastal belt communities especially in Esiama, Asanda and Bobrama. This will greatly give a boost to economic activities. The strengthening of security is also fundamental since the development of the hospitality industry will come with its ramifications such as crimes in the form of theft and arm robbery.
