In a captivating journey for cultural and historical exploration, contestants of Miss Teen Tourism World 2023 embarked on a riveting tour to the Central Region to experience two iconic places: the Kakum National Park and Cape Coast Castle.
The adventurous trip to these sites is part of the Miss Teen Tourism World 2023 activities, which began on August 1 and ends on August 20, 2023.
Stepping into the wonderful Kakum National Park, the beauty ambassadors were treated to the incredible canopy walk.
They marvelled at the unbridled splendour of Ghana’s natural resources, with spectacular views of the rainforest and its rich flora.
The beauty queens admired the park’s beauty and conservation efforts, expressing the importance of protecting such a setting for future generations.
Miss Teen Tourism World 2023 contestants continued their journey by visiting Cape Coast Castle. It was a sobering reflection of Ghana’s past.
The castle was originally a center of the transatlantic slave trade. The beauty queens were deeply moved by the stories of those who suffered behind its walls as they were led through its terrible dungeons and cells.
They stressed the importance of acknowledging the lessons of the past, urging visitors to reflect and consider the lessons the castle teaches about humanity.
Meanwhile, the contestants made a courtesy call on the Paramount Chief of the Oguaa Traditional Area, Osaabarima Kwesi Attah II, and the Queen Mother of Efutu, Nana Amba Eyiaba I, at Cape Coast’s Emintsimadze Palace.
The leaders educated the beauty ambassadors about Cape Coast’s unique cultural history and encouraged them to use the platform offered them to achieve greater heights.
