Abstract:

By about 1470 the Portuguese had arrived on the coast of what would later become the Gold Coast, now Ghana. Having established a trading post, the Portuguese engaged in trade with the indigenous Fanti and other traders from the interior particularly Ashanti. Trade came along with the building of forts and castles and also with the introduction of Christianity albeit at a slow pace and limited to the forts and castles. By the end of the sixteenth century these fortresses particularly Elmina and Christiansburg castles had Catholic priests who were stopping over on missions to other parts of Africa and considering the possibility of opening a mission in either Accra or Elmina. Such plans never materialised mostly due to lack of commitment, early death of the missionaries or lack of funds.

Abstract:

Museums, just like formal institutions of learning always have understood that conserving collections for study and exhibition can be an important part of the educational process. Since 1957, Ghana has established several museums under the Museums and Monument Board. These museums just like others are required to play a great deal of role in the social, educational, economic development of a nation. However, it is distressing to note that with the highly endowed museum assets of Ghana, such as the Cape Coast Castle Museum, Ghana National Museum, Fort Appolonia Museum of Nzema History and Culture, the Elmina Castle Museum, Ho Museum, Bolga Museum, Wa Museum, The Head of State Museum and Museum of Science and Technology both in Accra, there has been little contributions to Ghana’s Gross Domestic Product. Significantly, visitor experience and satisfaction is very low. In this view, this study sought to investigate educational activities of Ghana Museum and Monument Board (GMMB) and inquire into their educational activities. Employing qualitative approaches, the study used a triangulation of observations, interview and focus group discussion to assemble data from these museums. In conclusion, the museums provide some sort of education but there is no formalized educational framework serving as a guide. They mainly employ monotonous experience of guided and self-guided gallery tours, and occasionally, the museum curators and educators organize a oneoff programme such as an outreach to schools and special exhibitions as well as seminars. Recommendations to strengthening museum education in Ghana are addressed Citation: Kwasi Amoako – Ohene, Nana Ama Pokua Arthur, and Samuel Nortey.Museums: An institution for knowledge acquisition – A spotlight on the museum education in Ghana, 2020 5 (2): 10－23.

Abstract:

In 1492 Columbus made a non-stop voyage, on the high seas of the Atlantic, between the Canary Islands and an uncertain island off the coast of America, a distance of some 3,100 nautical miles. But there is a strong likelihood that he had earlier traveled on a voyage which may also have been non-stop on the Atlantic high seas and yet been even longer. According to casual references, made in notes apparently either written or authorized by Columbus himself, he had, at an unstated date, seen and perhaps been within the castle of São Jorge da Mina in Guinea. Assuming for the purposes of further discussion that this interpretation of the notes is correct, he had therefore sailed to Mina (Elmina in present-day Ghana), most probably, it is generally thought, between 1482 and 1484, not long after the Portuguese founded the fort. He must have sailed in some capacity aboard a Portuguese vessel, possibly as a trader, if not as a mariner.Although not otherwise recorded, the voyage to Mina is plausible since it occurred during the period of nearly ten years in which Columbus was employed within the Portuguese sphere. Little is known of his activities in this period but it is evidenced that he worked at one stage as a trader and made voyages in the 1470s to the Madeira group, where he resided for a time. When he traveled to America his descriptions of features there were not infrequently in terms of comparisons with features of Guinea, indicating that he was to some extent informed about the latter region and suggesting, perhaps strongly, that he had visited certain parts, as I noted in an earlier paper.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present specific tour services that influence international tourist satisfaction (ITS) and behavioural intentions (BIs) utilising transaction-specific customer satisfaction theory in a developing country. Identified factors will help stakeholders to plan, market and brand Elmina, Ghana, as a viable tourism destination to attract more tourists. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modelling was used to test the proposed conceptual model of seven hypotheses based on validated survey data gathered from 432 international tourists in Elmina, Ghana. Findings Empirical results revealed that food services, transportation, tour guide performance and community interactions had positive effects, whereas accommodation had a negative effect on ITS. However, tourist satisfaction had a positive effect on BIs. Research limitations/implications The findings are limited to this sample and cannot be projected to other destinations. Future studies can examine other tour services like tourism information centres and retail travel agents in Elmina. Practical implications International tourists’ stay in Elmina could be improved by providing competitive, insightful and memorable tours. Management of Elmina should constantly investigate the quality of tour services available to meet emerging needs of tourists. Originality/value To date, research into tour services, satisfaction and intentions of international tourists within city tourism as a foundation for future tourism development in Ghana has been overlooked. The findings provide an improved understanding of tour services, which will help Elmina’s tourism management to design and offer innovative and quality tour services to tourists.

Abstract:

Purpose: Despite evidences that training helps improve health and safety practices in hotels, there is modicum of knowledge of how being a Technical and Vocational Education and Training-trained housekeeper influences health and safety practices in hotels in Central Region, particularly Cape Coast and Elmina. This study, in response to this gap, examined the effect of being a TVET-trained housekeeper on health and safety practices in hotels in Cape Coast and Elmina. Methodology: The explanatory research design was employed. Data were collected, using self-administered questionnaire, from 100 conveniently selected housekeepers of 51 hotels in Cape Coast and Elmina in the Central Region. Data collected were analysed using means, standard deviations and regression analysis. Findings: The results showed that seven dimensions account for about 60% of the variance in health and safety practices. Also, the general level of health and safety practices in hotels in Cape Coast and Elmina was high – with higher average scores recorded among TVET-trained housekeepers compared to non-TVET-trained housekeepers. Additionally, the study revealed a statistically significant positive effect of being a TVET-trained housekeeper on health and safety practices in hotels. Recommendation: It was recommended that for improved health and safety practices in the hotels in Cape Coast and Elmina, there is the need for TVET-trained housekeepers; thus, hotel operators should give preference to employing TVET-trained housekeepers.

Abstract:

The study evaluated some population parameters of Decapterus rhonchus in coastal waters of Elmina, Ghana. A total of 210 samples were collected from Elmina landing beach in the Central region of Ghana from July 2019 to December 2019. The total length of individual fish samples was measured and analyzed using TropFish R package. Von Bertalanffy parameters were estimated as asymptotic length (L∞) = 40.6 cm, growth rate (K) = 0.14 per year, and growth performance index (Φ′) =2.367 per year. The length at first capture and maturity were 28.2 cm and 23.2 cm, respectively. Mortality parameters were calculated as total mortality rate (Z) = 1.09 per year, natural mortality rate (M) = 0.29 per year and fishing mortality rate (F) = 0.80 per year. The exploitation rate (E) was 0.73 which suggests that Decapterus rhonchus fishery in coast of Elmina, Ghana is highly overexploited. Reduction of fishing efforts through the removal of subsidies and the introduction of closed fishing season are some of the recommended management measures to sustain the Decapterus rhonchus fishery in Ghana. Res.
