Tourism Attractions

The district has numerous tourism sites which continue to attract visitors from far and near. We intend to promote tourism to a level where it will not only serve as recreation and entertainment for visitors but also go a long way to boost the economy of the district. 

Atwima Nwabiagya Municipal has many places as tourist centers, and the notable ones amongst them are the Barekese and Owabi Dams. These are the two water works that supply the Kumasi Metropolis with portable drinking water. Constructed on the Offin and Owabi rivers respectively, these dams are critical to water supply to the district and other districts. Visitors are taken round to see how the water is purified in addition to other technical details, before it is pumped out to consumers. The tour has been designed to take visitors close to the dam itself.

Eco-tourism is also of great prominence in the district. Major forests reserves and wildlife sanctuaries such as the Tano- Offin Forest Reserve, Gyamera Forest Reserve offer a great adventure for visitors who want to enjoy the serenity of a virgin forest containing diverse species of plants and birds. Various species of butterflies can also be found at these places.

Tourists can also visit the famous Okomfo Anokye footprints at Nkakom. Tradition has it that the acclaimed Okomfo Anokye stepped on a flat rock and left his foots prints on it. The district can also boast of an agriculture fair site which includes 5 large ponds which will attract visitors interested in aquaculture.

Indigenes living near these tourist centres are very friendly and hospitable to visitors. Tourist can interact freely with them and learn more from them. Organised groups can also schedule meetings with the chiefs of these communities. Hiking uphill around the Barekese area offers an exciting outdoor leisure experience.

Nevertheless, Tourism is not fully developed in the district. For this reason, though, Tourism is the third largest foreign exchange earner in the country; Atwima Nwabiagya Municipal gets virtually nothing in terms of revenue from Tourism. Despite the poor performance of the district in Tourism development, the district has some potential. Plans are underway to expose more tourism potentials within the district to open up the tourism industry.
