He underscored the significance of modern and sustainable properties near major airports, emphasizing their role in supporting tourism, aviation, and related industries.
The Chairman noted that strategically locating plush residential properties and hotels near airports provides convenient access for travelers, reducing stress and saving time. This convenience encourages more visitors to explore Ghana, ultimately leading to increased tourism and economic growth.
The Prestige Project aligns with ongoing investments in on-ground airport infrastructure at Kotoka International Airport, showcasing a commitment to enhancing both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the airport and its surrounding areas.
