“Madam Tussauds Group to Operate in Ghana”
A delegation of 'Madam Tussauds Group', a United Kingdom (UK) based tourist centre operators, paid a courtesy call on President John Agyekum Kufuor of Ghana at the Castle, Osu to express interest in operating business in Ghana.
It plans working together with the Ghana Hall of Fame on three identified potential sites at Kpone, Kawukudi and the Motorway.
Mr Glenn Earlam, the Managing Director, who led the delegation said they were keen to have a presence in the country, making Ghana, its first point of call in Africa.
The Group specialises in the making of statues of prominent personalities. In the UK, about 2,500 tourists daily visit its centre. It also has other centres in China and the United States. President Kufuor said the Government would cooperate with the Group but noted that Parliamentary approval would be necessary. Mr Sampson Kwaku Boafo, Minister of State of Culture and Chieftaincy, accompanied the delegation.
