  • Litina Travel and Tour has launched the “Litina 2-in-1 Experience” to capitalize on the World Cup for Ghanaian commerce.
  • The initiative includes the “Made in Ghana: FIFA World Cup 2026 Expo,” a two-day exhibition in the United States aimed at connecting Ghanaian brands with global consumers and investors.
  • The expo seeks to streamline the export process for Ghanaian businesses, allowing them to showcase diverse products from processed foods and textiles to real estate services.
  • Participating companies will gain exhibition space, direct access to diaspora and international buyers, brand visibility, structured networking, and a comprehensive travel package.

Why This Matters

This initiative is significant for Ghana as it strategically leverages a major global event (FIFA World Cup) to promote "Made in Ghana" products and services on an international stage. It offers a direct pathway for Ghanaian businesses, especially SMEs, to access global markets, attract investment, and boost national branding, thereby diversifying the economy beyond traditional sectors and sports.
