Blue Sky Travel will offer guests memorable experiences in Ghana’s vibrant Upper East Region whilst using profits to tackle poverty in the area.
Blue Sky Travel is a social enterprise seeking investment to establish its business in northern Ghana. The locally owned and run Blue Sky Travel (BST) will allow guests to enjoy a rich, cultural, travel experience in the knowledge that they are contributing to the development of the area and the eradication of poverty by helping to grow the economy. BST will help to develop Ghana's tourism industry in the north, putting into practice everything learnt from established and successful tourism models in other areas of Africa such as Tanzania, Kenya and South Africa.
Blue Sky Travel – Great for the local community
The Upper East Region is a remote, untouched area of the world suffering from extreme poverty, with 70% of people living under the poverty line. The establishment of Blue Sky Travel will positively impact the area in a variety of ways, including:
- attracting new markets to the region
- creating important job opportunities for local people, ensuring they can cultivate a healthy livelihood for their family
- generating funds to be reinvested in social projects in the area run by local non-profit organisation, AfriKids, which works to support the area’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children, their families and communities
