WHAT IS THE YEAR OF RETURN?
Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo declared the “Year of Return,
Ghana 2019” as a major spiritual and birth-right journey inviting
the Global African family, home and abroad, to mark 400 years of the
arrival of the first enslaved Africans. “The Year of Return, Ghana
2019” celebrates the cumulative resilience of all the victims of the
Trans Atlantic Slave Trade who were scattered and displaced throughout
the world in North America, South America, the Caribbean, Europe and
Asia. The Year of Return serves as an "Akwaaba AKA Welcome Back"
initiative for African diaspora to come back to Africa. One of the
main goals of the Year of Return campaign is to also position Ghana as
a key travel destination for African Americans and the African
Diaspora and is endorsed by The Ghana Tourism Authority(GTA), Ministry
of Tourism, Arts, and Culture, and the Office of Diaspora Affairs at
the Office of the President.
