@amandaagy: Replying to @Via_ when I’m doing research on a new country I’m traveling to the first thing I do is watch someone’s video to be able to see what the place is like and how much to budget for it. That’s why sometimes it’s useful to have prices in videos bc it’s genuinely helping someone else but sadly now it’s not without its negative effects. #traveltiktok #accra #ghanatiktok #africantiktok
I use Thailand and Bali as an example aaaalll the time! YoY it’s still affordable there despite the influx of tourists and even the surge of people moving there to live. Accra can be reasonable if it really wanted to. They just choose not to

To me it just highlights the extreme wealth inequality in Ghana. I know people in Ghana who have groceries flown to them weekly from the UK while their neighbors sleep in roofless houses. In a country where average income is 300 dollars a month, How does 10 dollar matcha make sense?

The airlines are doing it too. My flight to Accra in 2019 December was 980$ United airlines. Bought that ticket on 20th and traveled on the 22nd. Hotels prices were reasonable. Now tickets are 3k plus and that’s regular economy with just a bag

The lack of price regulatory bodies especially for the private sector is also a major factor. Every business once they get a bit of buzz and traction would alllll of a sudden raise the prices.. and target only the luxury market 😪

The inflation is because there isn’t any regulation- let’s stop trying to only blame tourism

DAP GHANA TOURS 🇬🇭 :
Content creators make it easier for people to discover a place and understand what to expect, but at the same time, constantly putting prices out there can sometimes make businesses adjust their pricing because they know a certain audience is willing to pay more. I think it’s really about finding the balance between promoting Ghana and unintentionally contributing to the rising cost of experiences here.

Precisely. It’s just scarcity mindset and greed. Those Asian countries have infrastructure, are extremely clean, and are just straight up developed too but still much cheaper than Accra.

I dont think its greed Ghana have always based their prices on currency... its always been that way .. i dont know what the currency has been like in the last 15 years but ghana in 2011 the pound was much higher than the dollar now the different is not much.

sales in Accra are not good because of the low wages, however in those three or 4 months. they can make revenue for the year.
it's a better option for them
