The district’s market centres can also be further developed, although there are already three weekly functional markets at Wiamoase, Aboamang and Agona currently in the district. As a producer of various types of crops, the district has the potential to develop better functioning market centres.

The tourism potential of the district arise from its history, its position in the region as a craft production centre, its traditional systems and institutions and the sacred and religious activities carried out at the many shrines in the district.

The following is the main tourist centres in the District.

. Agona/krofonso/Bipoa and the relics of Okomfo Anokye

. Afram Shrine

. Asamang Gadawu Shrine

. Tabre Boomu (The Cave House)

. The Monkey sanctuary at kyekyewere

. The Aboye Festival

. Kente Weaving at Bepoase All these tourist attractions, however, are in their raw stage and needs to be developed.

The District Assembly is working hard to develop these potentials to make the district a major tourist destination in the region. What is now required is active participation of the private sector to develop these potentialities.
