Ghana Tourism Authority to clamp down unregistered catering services and drinking bars The Ghana Tourism Authority has threatened to clamp down on unregistered catering services and drinking bars in the country. The Chief Executive of the Authority, Akwasi Agyeman, said there are more than three thousand drinking bars in the country, but only about two thousand of them have been registered to operate legally. Speaking at the launch of the Ghana Beverage Awards 2017 in Accra, Mr. Agyeman said his outfit will descend on those drinking bars and catering services operating illegally in the country to ensure they do the right thing. Currently he said, bars and spots are being operated at corners in communities without proper regulation which endangers the lives of the people. The GTA CEO said his outfit is committed to ensuring that standards are adhered to by all businesses in the country. SOURCE: Ghanaiantimes ---DECRYPTED---
