If SA has over 20,000 kms of railway,why you guys r too far behind with your the so called economy?
If SA has more than 12 good,developed cities,why you guys has got only one or two cities even with dust roads?
If SA has over 40,000MW capacity, why Nigeria has so much low and Kenya has about 2,000 but your cooked GDP figures is a quarter of SA? Why can't u have a quarter of 40,000 MW?
Check SA local aviation sector,compare it with naija or Kenya. Have u seen the joke?
You can't have a quarter of SA GDP, while on ground you don't have a quarter of what SA has. You can't have the bigger GDP than SA,but on ground you struggle to even get a half or a third of what SA has!
mtisQ: Again ya in the same level like sudan so just shut up...
Yet we make 2 times more money than your tourism sector will ever make ...
Weep all you want but your tourism sector can only be compared to small Malawi..
You guys have been screaming tourism tourism as if you make some reasonable money from it but just like your export revenue , your tourism revenue is a division of that of Ghana
mtisQ: ths iis 2019 before the covid hit.lets see the truth according to world bank..some folks here claiming stuff got less numbers than lesotho ro sudan.. Ths goes to Just30 an kazibure...please small economies should just shut up
waa see
You are even comparing Ghana 2015 number of visitors to your country 2019 number of visitors..
Ain't you ashamed ?
Let's compare the revenue,
In 2019, Ghana made 3.3 billion dollars.. some say, 3.7 billion. In 2019, Kenya made 1.7 billion dollars.
In 2020, Ghana made 1.1 billion dollars.. In 2020, Kenya made less than 500 million dollars..
Your small country is incomparable, go an grow your tourism and stop comparing yourself to countries above you in all things here
popizaino: This is not about kenya but about a third world nation having a higher cost of living comparable to that of a developed world and her citizen still bragging about it.Make it make sense pls.
Ghana offers enough opportunities that makes the cost of living less of a burden such that people can maintain a higher standard of living and that is something to brag about.
Do you get it now, you cant talk about cost of living without talking about the standard of living?
Mention any country that has the kind of standard of living that Ghana has and doesn't have a similar cost of living.
popizaino: I read it and it was full of BS, devoid of common sense.
Don't bother to reply me if you can't make use of your own word without repeating what I have said back to me.
Which one is BS?
The fact that the Kenyan economy depends on aid and is gov't control deviod of the forces of demand and supply?
Or the Fact that Ghana has a higher standard of living than Kenya?
Those are all verifiable fact, unless you are blinded by useless propaganda.. Is it not a fact that the cost of living in Ghana is high (this comes in hand with a higher standard of living )?
You dont need that much brain cells to verify facts.
gallivant: The US, UK and Hong Kong are high income nations. It's stupid to compare with tiny gold producing Ghana. It's also just as stupid as to think anyone is visiting Ghana, I mean do you even have hotels or resorts for the tourists?
We have more than enough hotels, resorts and short stay apartments..
From July to December, everything gets fully booked...
This is why Ghana makes almost 2 times in revenue than your country..
Atleast we all know that Ghana is a middle-income nation higher than your country so it wont even make sense to put kenya on our level. Solve that before you talk about tourism.
Go rant somewhere else, Kenya has a poor standard of living that is on par with South Sudan, Liberia and co
Tourist spend more money in Ghana than they will ever spend in Kenya
Mkenya2019: Highest cost of living with lowest quality of life is in hell holes like Ghana, Sudan, Niger, Zimbwabwe. These are countries struggling with hyperinflation. Ghana is good example of a country that cannot seem to fix it's historical inflation issue..10yrs the Cedis has done 600 percent deflation against USD.
There is big difference btw someone earning high wages in Europe buying high quality stuff for top prize - and Ghanian buying cane rate expensively. If you go to Europe 10yrs from now or 20yrs back..the prizes of goods remain almost unchanged. Their currency are stable and they have almost zero inflation.
There's no difference between a Ghanaian earning high wage and buying the same high quality stuff at top prizes that Europeans buy and getting a significantly close standard of living to an European while paying the price for that standard of living in cost of living.
There's nothing inflationary about that, it's just transitory.
The rest of your rants are nonsense, there is nowhere in the functional world were prices of things remain the same except in nonfunctional countries that depend on aid and handouts ..
In those place, the economy does not function properly. Countries like Liberia, sierra Leone, Kenya and co comes to mind. These are aid and handouts dependent nations with a nonfunctional economy where demand and supply doesn't work but govt dictating price setting.
This is the very reason why COVID has affected Kenya so badly, your economy couldn't even adjust. This happens when govt controls the economy instead of individuals and the economic principle of demand and supply.
gallivant: That is called inflation, nothing to be celebrated in a tiny resource economy like Ghana. Anyways there is nothing to see or do in Ghana for tourism so there is no debate here. Waste of time.
so US, UK, Hong Kong and co High standard of living and cost of living is called inflation?
That is the stupidest thing you've ever said here.
There is more things to do in Ghana and that is why Ghana makes more money than Kenya, from tourist
Mkenya2019: To be ahead of kenya world class tourism sites is to be extra terrestrial. Maybe you're in another planet. People pay a fortune to come to Kenya. It just too expensive...so it for rich...we compete with Tanzania and South Africa.
Only the rich or those who have saved for some years come to enjoy such pristine world class resources.
And yet Ghana is more expensive than your country... Imagine that, so because flight tickets to Ghana are more expensive than Kenya and the general cost of living here and the standard of living is so high than in Kenya, that must mean only rich people come here. I Guess only billionaires come to enjoy Ghana.
Mkenya2019: Please nigga. Ghana and Nigeria - and tourism. Lol. To see what in Ghana. After seeing slave dungeons what is next? The golden stool of Kumasi.
When people are talking world class tourism - just veer off to another topic. Like Cane rat soup
Both countries are ahead of your country in tourism so
You should already know what people come to see... we market experience and not poverty tourism in your country.
Mkenya2019: More mindless rants. Tourism and Ghana...and Kenya. Please mad cow. Respect yourself. I can listen to KaziKazi. Tell me anybody in the world who has Ghana has must visit before they die. Nobody.
What is there to see in Ghana.
Please Kenya is different ball game. I would classify Kenya, TZ and South Africa - as Africa most beautiful countries - world class.
Ghana - you have gold and minerals - make it COUNT.
Mkenya2019: You're NOT IN THE TOPIC. It's just that you dont have the emotional IQ to get the social cues. Ghana and Tourism - what is there to see - Slave Dungeons?
This topic is restricted to Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Egypt and Morroco.
We are talking world class tourism - not slave dungeons.
Festivals is what there is to see annual festivals and the celebration of music.
When you finally put together your brain cells, you will understand.....
a random sample of which African countries people will like to visit and SA, Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria will always be mentioned...
Mkenya2019: Dont confuse returning Ghanian with tourst. Every country has different metholodgy of counting tourist. You simply have no tourist. That is why seeing a white man is a big deal in your country
Who said the people who come here are returning Ghanaians?
All you have to do is travel to Ghana on a passport either than that of Ghana and on a tourist visa to be a tourist.
Is there any more excuse for why Kenya is less known? When did seeing white people become big deal...
Ask anyone who has been to Ghana and you will know that we dont even book their existence. You will find them walking the street anytime of the day.
maybe they are big deal in Kenya but here, we see them all the time.
Mind you, Kenyans are the ones who worship white people
Mkenya2019: Asked by who and when? Kenya started wild game drive. As early as 1920s - the US president was visiting kenya as tourist. Hemmingways - one of American famous author stayed in kenya - and there is big resort in Karen.
Kenya invited Safaris and wild game. That is almost inventing modern tourism.
Hemmingways one world greatest author stayed here in early 19th century
You do realize that TZ and Kenya combine tourism figures is still less than that of Ghana right?
Kazikazi: What? Why r we making billions in tourism? Who doesn't know Kilimanjaro? Serengeti? Zanzibar? Who doesn't know magufuli? What about tanzanite?
Mkenya2019: Small country syndrome. Nobody know about Ghana except if they are black or maybe speak English. Nearly every one even if they speak whatever know about Kenya.
So how come, when they are asked to mention 5 African countries they know, Kenya is never mentioned ?
Must it be that your country is less know compare to Senegal?
rvp2018: The guys on corner streets and parks from Nigeria and Ghana dispense more drugs than those ones. I know it. I live in Europe. Otherwise it very likely African doctor is treating African or black patients in Europe or US. Unless you ended institutionalized racism in US or EU without telling us. Yeah for gov - well they have no option - they are poor white and cannot choose a doctor.
Institutional racism does not stop people from getting the medical help they need.
