The Member of Parliament for Damongo Constituency, and Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Lawyer Samuel Abu Jinapor, has called on Ghanaians and tourists who come to the country to visit the Damongo Constituency, which he says is, arguably, the number one tourist destination in northern Ghana.

The MP was speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, 12th July, 2023, when he made a statement on tourist attractions in the Damongo Constituency. He said tourism offers a glimpse into our history, culture and nature, and thus should not be reserved for foreigners alone. He said there are several tourist attractions in the country, which if well patronised, will contribute substantially to our national economy.

Mentioning some of the tourist attractions in the Damongo Constituency, the Member of Parliament mentioned the Larabanga Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in Africa, mostly referred to as “the Mecca of West Africa.” The over six hundred (600) year old Mosque is said to have been built by one Ayuba, after Allah had revealed to him in a dream to build a mosque, which Allah himself had already laid the foundations. Inside the Mosque is an ancient Qur’an believed to have been delivered by Allah to the Imam of the Mosque in 1650.

He also mentioned the Mystic stone ,also located at Larabanga.

According to him when the colonial Government was contracting a road through Larabanga, they removed the stone, but came back the following day to find that the stone had returned to its previous position, and when this persisted, they were compelled to divert the road, and leave the stone in its position, which it has remained till date.

Other tourist attractions cited by the Member of Parliament include the Mognori Eco Village, a community-based tourism project in Mognori, that provides a range of tourist activities such as guided nature walks, traditional and drumming and dancing and handicraft demonstrations, as well as the Mole National Park, the first, largest and most prestigious protected area in the country, which previously served as a Game Clearance Area, but currently hosts, various plant and animal species, including elephants, buffalos, lions, monkeys, and other rare and endangered species.

This park also hosts West Africa’s first luxury safari lodge, the Zaina Lodge, which provides top-notch hospitality services with a unique cultural touch to visitors of the Park and its catchment areas.

The MP therefore called on Ghanaians and tourists to visit the Damongo constituency at least once to view the beauty of nature and also help improve the socio- economic development of the area and Ghana at large.
