Ghana, has a huge potential for tourism and makes an excellent winter sun destination particularly from the U.K . A few of Ghana's good points for consideration are :

The time zone in Ghana is GMT identical to the UK , except for variations of one hour when the clocks go back or forward in the UK.

Ghana as a Country is politically stable and has been for some time.

The population in Ghana is generally peaceful & law abiding .

Being an ex British colony virtually everyone can speak English

Although inner city areas are typically " third world " generally all the beaches are pretty much in good condition with swimming at Labadi and kokrobite.

Good weather can almost always be guaranteed with temperatures around 29 centigrade in Accra. Their winter is opposite to the UK and starts around June, with sometimes quite heavy rain from June to August . Around September is good since the weather was not too hot and even cool at time .

Accra is only 6 hours away from the U.K

Ghana provides an excellent safe introduction to the continent of Africa.
