Divino Hotel Officially Opens in Konongo to Boost Hospitality and Job Creation

The hospitality industry in Konongo has received a major boost with the official opening of Divino Hotel, a modern facility designed to enhance tourism, create jobs, and provide high-quality accommodation in the Asante Akim Central Municipality.

Owned by the CEO of Divine Nana Owusu Group of Companies, the hotel aims to offer world-class hospitality services while contributing to the local economy. Speaking at the grand commissioning ceremony, the CEO, Mr. Divine Nana Kwadwo Owusu, expressed his commitment to investing in Ghana’s tourism and business sectors.

“Divino Hotel is more than just a hospitality business; it is a vision to uplift Konongo’s economy, create employment, and provide a comfortable space for visitors. We are here to serve and contribute to the growth of this community,” he stated.

Addressing Business Challenges

While celebrating this milestone, Mr. Owusu also used the platform to call on the government to ease bureaucratic challenges involved in business registration and documentation.

“The frustration we go through in securing permits and licenses sometimes discourages entrepreneurs from expanding their businesses. If we want to create more jobs and support national development, the government must simplify the business documentation process,” he urged.

Community Leaders Commend the Initiative

The commissioning ceremony was attended by several dignitaries, including Nana Osei Ankama II, Chief of Nyaboo, who praised Mr. Owusu’s efforts and encouraged young people to pursue entrepreneurship.

 

“The youth of Ghana should take inspiration from Divine Nana Kwadwo Owusu and venture into business. Instead of waiting for white-collar jobs, they should explore opportunities in various sectors to drive economic growth,” Nana Osei Ankama II advised.

A Boost for Local Tourism and Business

With its modern facilities and strategic location, Divino Hotel is set to attract business travelers, tourists, and local guests, further positioning Konongo as a growing hospitality and business hub. The hotel is expected to create numerous job opportunities and contribute to the municipality’s economic development.

Security Assurance from Konongo Police Command

In a bid to ensure safety and security in the area, the Konongo Police Command has assured the management of Divino Hotel of their full support in maintaining security around the facility.

The police command emphasized their commitment to providing a safe and conducive environment for businesses to thrive, noting that security is a crucial factor in attracting investment and tourism.

Strengthening Ghana’s Tourism Industry

The opening of Divino Hotel marks a significant step in strengthening Ghana’s tourism sector while reinforcing the role of private-sector investment in national development. Stakeholders believe that such initiatives will help drive economic growth, create jobs, and boost local businesses.
