Economic importance of cleaned beaches to ghana

ECONOMIC IMPOTRANCE OF CLEAN BEACHES TO GHANA
Poor sanitation along the beach pollutes the environment and atmosphere and this inevitably leads to the outbreak of diseases such as cholera,diarrhoea, typhoid, malaria and many other preventable diseases when our beaches are cleaned and unlittered.

Cleaned beaches have lots of benefit especially for a developing country like Ghana and it's economy. The coast in Ghana is one of the most visited environment in the country by both locals and foreigners. Cleaned beaches have allowed for more tourists in the country where they can relax and enjoy themselves once they are in the country. A popular beach environment is the BOJO BEACH.It is located at bortianor close to the densu River delta in Accra.A hotel has been built close to the beach making it a resort.

The resort house lots of locals and foreigners which brings alot of revenue to the country. Ghana iso able to earn money into it treasury through visits to the beaches by both locals and    foreigners. This goes a long way to bring development and          improve the quality of our tourism.                                                  
The resort is able to pay their taxes by constant visit to the place which enable them pay their dues to the government  to increase development  for the nation.                                                                  
Far from this by cleaning the beach,  it improves the livelihood of the fishermen and fish mongers as fish is food to many people in the country and provides income for them and the government. There  is the need to ensure hygienic  sanitation conditions at the landing beaches, and fishing communities in general, so that the fishing industry could take advantage out there, in terms of export of fish, and earn incomes for themselves and the country.All governments have failed to make the capital city clean, their efforts were only cosmetic and did not actually yield any benefit due to the lack of infrastructure.

I plead with people to stop the act of defecating on the shores since the beaches hold the potential of attracting tourists and generating income for the communities.

Health Benefits of the Beach to the Society. By:Mabel Korkor Ocansey SYNI Amongst all of nature’s gift, the beach is an environment that provides freedom. A perfect place to calm your mind, body and soul, feel the sun on your face, the wind in your hair, the sand between your toes and the lulling sounds of waves gently breaking the shore. Technically, the beach is a narrow, usually gently sloping strip of land that borders the body of water, such as lake or ocean. It serves as a platform for social relations, Hence there’s a need to ensure sanitation around the beach. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Sanitation generally refers to the provision of facilities and services for the safe disposal of human urine and feces.
