加纳总统 John Dramani Mahama 先生敦促政府核心部门加快推行电子签证服务，作为加纳现代化旅行基础设施建设和提升全球旅游及商业竞争力举措的一部分。

在 "高级旅客信息与旅客姓名记录运营中心" 的启用仪式上，总统将电子签证系统称为简化外国公民旅行手续的 "关键工具"，这将使加纳成为对投资者和游客更具吸引力的目的地。

Mahama 总统表示："推行电子签证不仅是为了便利，更是要将加纳定位为西非门户，推动边境安全创新，促进旅游和商业领域发展。"

这个采用高科技手段的 API/PNR 中心将优化旅客数据收集，提升安全水平和运营效率，标志着加纳航空和移民系统数字化转型迈出重要一步。

总统要求外交部、内政部和交通部密切协作，加速落实电子签证框架。他强调必须尽快取得成效，以配合加纳更广泛的经济发展目标。

交通部长 Joseph Bukari Nikpe 先生在活动上重申政府推进航空业发展的决心，指出包括整合数字签证平台在内的高效旅行系统对维持航空连通性和吸引国际航司至关重要。

Nikpe 部长表示："我们致力于确保加纳航空基础设施与国际标准接轨。电子签证和 API/PNR 系统对加强国家安全、改善旅客体验都具有重大意义。"

在加纳持续打造西非地区旅行与商业枢纽之际推出这项电子服务，随着后疫情时代旅游业预计复苏，相关方称赞此举具有前瞻性且恰逢其时。

President Mahama Urges Acceleration of E-Visa Services to Boost Travel and Tourism

President John Dramani Mahama has called on key government ministries to fast-track the rollout of electronic visa (e-visa) services as part of efforts to modernize Ghana’s travel infrastructure and enhance its global competitiveness in tourism and business.

Speaking at the official commissioning of the Advance Passenger Information and Passenger Name Record (API/PNR) Operations Centre, President Mahama described the e-visa system as a "critical tool" in simplifying travel procedures for foreign nationals, thereby making Ghana a more attractive destination for investors and tourists alike.

"The e-visa initiative is not just about convenience," the President said. "It is about positioning Ghana as a gateway to West Africa, encouraging innovation in border security, and supporting the growth of tourism and business sectors."

The API/PNR Centre, a high-tech facility that will streamline passenger data collection for enhanced security and operational efficiency, marks a significant step toward digital transformation in Ghana's aviation and immigration systems.

President Mahama tasked the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Interior, and Transport to collaborate closely to accelerate the implementation of the e-visa framework. He stressed the importance of delivering results in the shortest possible time to align with Ghana’s broader economic and development goals.

Also speaking at the event, Minister for Transport, Joseph Bukari Nikpe, reaffirmed the government's commitment to advancing the aviation sector. He noted that efficient travel systems, including the integration of digital visa platforms, are essential to sustaining air connectivity and attracting global airlines.

"We are committed to ensuring that Ghana's aviation infrastructure keeps pace with international standards," Minister Nikpe said. "The e-visa and API/PNR initiatives are both vital in strengthening our national security and improving passenger experience."

The e-service comes as Ghana continues to position itself as a hub for travel and commerce in the West African sub-region. With tourism projected to rebound in the post-pandemic era, stakeholders have welcomed the move as timely and forward-thinking.
