Prudential Bank Limited donates Personal Protective Equipment [PPE’s] to Ghana Tourism Federation (GHATOF] for the benefit of its member Associations i.e. Ghana Traditional Caterers Association, Indigenous Caterers Association, Ghana Drinking Bar Operators Association [GHABOA] and the National Drinking Bar Association [NADBOA].
The President of GHATOF Mad. Bella Ahu and CEO of Ghana Tourism Authority, Akwasi Agyeman received the items.
Bella Ahu thanked the officials from Prudential Bank for their nice gesture.
Agyeman on his part reiterated the fact that the tourism industry has been hardest hit by COVID-19 pandemic and therefore as a regulator, GTA feels the pain for players in the tourism industry especially those in the informal sector like chop bars and fast food joints. He called on other organisations to also support the tourism industry in these challenging times.
Executive Head of Operations for Prudential Bank, Thomas Broni said they are a truly indigenous bank and while observing the interventions that GTA was making to support tourism operators, they deem it fit to also do the same, especially for the informal sector.
The items donated by the Bank include nose masks, liquid soaps tissue papers, and veronica buckets.
