One of the easiest ways of meeting new people, discovering other cultures, beating stress, or experiencing daring adventure is by travelling. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page”, Saint Augustine once said.
Travelling should not be a hassle; right from planning, through the airport and finally to the destination. Sometimes, travel barriers do not only include financial factors but also issues regarding visa applications. However, Ghanaian passport holders can visit over fifty countries to enjoy family vacations, quick getaways or solo travel adventures by showing up at the airport with a valid air ticket and required health certificate.
