Fun & Fly Paragliding Festival

The Ghana Tourism Authority introduced the Fun & Fly Paragliding Festival for corporate organisations and groups whose work schedules does not allow them to partake in the main Ghana Paragliding Festival.  It is held annually in September each year. Experienced Pilots from the USA, Japan, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France, Peru, South Africa and many other countries are brought in to fly passengers. It’s time to #FunNFly because #You2CanFly.

The Paragliding event was introduced in 2005 by the Ministry of Tourism. The festival has attracted both Ghanaians and foreigners alike and has become an integral part of the annual Easter celebrations in Ghana with 3-days aerial fun, ceremonies and music.

The inclusion of the events as part of the festivities has seen a dramatic increase in numbers of visits to the various attractions within the eastern enclave of the country, increased the tourist activities and improved economic activities as well. Also, after its introduction, the event has drawn many enthusiasts to Kwahu and positively impacted the local economy in relation to transport businesses, tour operations, hospitality establishments, souvenir sellers and the entertainment industry among others.
