The Wakanda City of Return project has been launched in Ghana’s Cape Coast to pave way for the creation of an ultra-modern smart city that befits Cape Coast as a tourism hub.
The African Diaspora Development Institute (ADDI), two local companies and the City of Cape Coast that form the fulcrum around the building of the city say, they are leveraging on the heritage and cultural tourism assets of Ghana to create a place of pilgrimage for the people of African descent to know about their history, culture, civilization of Africa and our role in the creation of the new world economy.
The project, is a private sector-led initiative to develop the coastline and new areas of Cape Coast by creating a heritage experience with the provision of 5-Star hotels, retreat/ health resort, conference center, entertainment and the construction of the Ultra-Modern continental corporate headquarters for ADDI.
The organizers are convinced the timing of the project is apt as the country continues to benefit from the hugely successful “Year of Return” and the “Beyond the Return” tourism initiatives.
Speaking at the launch of the project, Chairman of the Wakanda City of Return, Dr. Kojo Benjamin Taylor explained Cape Coast as a tourist city could not be measured anywhere in Ghana and as a tourist centre, it didn’t have a project that fulfilled the tourism potentials it has.
Thus, the organizers thought of creating a project that would allow people to come to Cape Coast, stay for some time, enjoy its spiritual nature, enjoy the entertainment aspect of it, enjoy it through the communities and also enjoy the environment of futuristic event.
“They couldn’t have chosen a much better place than Cape Coast to build the Wakanda City of Return. I am proud to be the Chairman of the Wakanda 1 City…”
