Sea and shore and rivers – Fetteh 

Existing rivers in the whole of the district. This is a potential tourist attraction to explore.The various communities of the district celebrate Akwambo or Ahorbaa Festivals or both in their own peculiar way. Such ceremonies could be well organized and developed into tourist attractions. For example, the two traditional (Paramount) areas could come together and celebrate the climax of the festivals in one paramount town with the capacity to attract people from other areas within and outside Ghana.

The two traditional areas coming together to climax the festivals in say every three years would also promote peace and solidarity between them. For tourism potentials to be fully harnessed and utilized, there is the need to improve on physical accessibility and social services. This involves the attraction and attention of both government and private sectors.
