This appointment is seen as a strategic move to strengthen Ghana’s creative and cultural sectors.

Gomashie’s decades-long experience in the arts, coupled with her commitment to cultural preservation, makes her a natural fit for this role. As a former Deputy Minister under Mahama’s previous administration, she played a significant role in promoting Ghana’s tourism and creative industries.

Industry stakeholders, including experts and cultural commentators, have praised Gomashie’s understanding of the sector’s unique challenges and opportunities. George Quaye, a prominent industry advocate, described her as “the best fit for the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts,” citing her passion and track record in advocating for creative professionals.

Gomashie’s nomination is subject to parliamentary approval, but her confirmation is widely anticipated given her credentials and broad support within the industry. Once approved, her leadership will focus on creating a turning point for Ghana’s tourism, culture, and creative arts sector, setting the stage for a new era of growth and innovation.

The tourism industry has seen significant growth in recent years, particularly during the former Nana Akufo-Addo led administration, which initiated programs like Year of Return and Beyond The Return.

Gomashie’s appointment is expected to build on this momentum and drive further development in the sector.
