Kumasi City Mall to breathe new life into tourism in the Ashanti region


The euphoria and excitement, tens and thousands of jubilant indigens and a battalion of both foreign and local media personnel. This is what characterized the entire city of Kumasi last week when the ultra-modern Kumasi City Mall was opened. The many jokes and memes that came out after the opening only showed the extent to which the long awaited mall has been keenly awaited.The mall which is estimated to cost about $95million covers a land size of about 15 acres. Now go to Asokwa, a suburb of Kumasi and you cannot ignore a massive architectural edifice that stands right in the centre of the town alongside a massive interchange and the Baba Yara Stadium.The mall has many shops in numerous categories including groceries, beauty, electronics, clothing, pharmaceuticals, jewellery, entertainment and some recreational centres.

Jumia Travel, Africa’s leading online travel agents takes a critical look at how this new mall will breathe new life into tourism in Ghana’s garden city.

Added value – In every big city all around the world, there is a mall. A shopping masterclass that allows both domestic and foreign travelers to have all they want in one place. From shopping to recreation, you are confident of having whatever you need there. This new Kumasi City Mall brings with it an added value. Many tourists who come to Ghana now will not use a shopping mall as an excuse to stay in Accra anymore, There are many tourist sites in Kumasi and the Ashanti region. However, tourists look at more than just a tourist site and hotels. Access to basic things such as a grocery shop, a cinema, a hospital and other hospitality services is very very important to these high spenders. Getting all of this in one place just makes the city attractive to tourists. Welcome to Kumasi.

Employment – One of the many challenges facing the youth in Ghana and particularly Kumasi is unemployment. Although Ashanti’s are naturally hardworking, there is a deficit in good jobs that can accommodate the increasing numbers of young graduates in the city. The opening of this new mall opens the doors for many more youth to be absorbed into the hospitality sector which directly impacts tourism. The need for caterers, chefs, cleaners and other labour workers alongside shop keepers and managers makes way for a reduction in unemployment numbers.

Cross entrepreneurship – When we critically look at the benefits of the mall to tourism, we can also pause to look at the benefits of tourism to this mall as well. Sellers will sell more and the mall will become busy most of the time because tourists will frequent this place. A big mall like this demands numbers to fill up and raise revenue. Tourists are the number one shoppers and although local people may shop, window shop or utilize other recreational services, it is the tourists who spend a lot of time and money here. There is cross business going on here as the mall can be used as a selling point to attract tourists into the country whereas shop owners and sellers can also make substantial income from these tourists.

Publicity – The mall is also another avenue where tourist organizations, Online travel agencies and tour operators can market themselves. Acquiring shops or setting up pop up shops will give shoppers and tourists an avenue to make enquiries, book for hotels and flights as well get all information they need in one place. Other ways where tourism can harness the platform that this mall has created includes the use of electronic screens, flyers and banners to sell destinations and tour packages as well as promote tourism in Ghana. Where best to sell the tourism industry than the place where all the tourists and potential travelers will more likely be?

One Stop Destination for all needs – Whether domestic or foreign, every one needs the level of convenience where he/she can access all they want in one place. Especially for foreign guests who visit the city for the first time, it is quite refreshing to know that they can just walk into one place and get everything. No need to move from one area to the other looking for basic items which is very costly. Just a trip to the City mall gives you access to everything. Shop for groceries, get fast food, shop for clothes, electronics, book vacations, visit the dentist and get some jewellry and paraphernalia. It’s quite an amazing experience. You get all you need. All you have to do is walk in.

Well,well,well, after all is said and done, Kumasi has a mall too now. Business will boom and the benefits are endless. All we can hope for is a better management and maintenance culture to ensure that the facility lasts long and fetches more revenue for the owners and several industries who benefit directly and indirectly from it. If you are in Ghana as well and you have never visited Kumasi, there is one more reason for you to go.Welcome Kumasi City Mall, welcome development!

'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' Recap: Kim and Khloe Kardashian Take Down Taylor Swift Over Kanye West's 'Famous' Video



Feel that chill? It's the shade that just entered the room, thanks to the Sunday, July 17, episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Not only did Kim Kardashian attempt to take downTaylor Swift by claiming she knew all aboutKanye West's controversial "Famous" lyric (aka "I made that bitch famous"), she blasted Piers Morgan for comments he made regarding her nude photos. Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner dealt with her stalker (#NormalTeenageProblems), and Kim announced that she's taken to measuring her butt. The more you know!


Kim Dishes on Caitlyn Jenner's Appearance in "Famous"
West's "Famous" video basically consists of a bunch of nude celebs taking a nap together, including Swift, Anna Wintour and Caitlyn Jenner. The weird thing? When Kim prepped her mom, Kris Jenner, about the video's content, Kris seemed more annoyed that her ex was included than anything else.


"I think he's obsessed with Caitlyn, though," Kris said. Kim's response? "I think he just likes people who are authentic." 
Again … that shady chill.
In Which Kim Comes for Taylor Swift
In case you missed the drama, Kim took down Taylor in GQ, and opened up about the decision during Sunday's episode. Long story short, Kim claims Taylor knew about Kanye's controversial lyrics and accused her of playing the victim.


Kim elaborated on what she told GQ, saying Kanye has footage of himself asking Taylor for lyrical permission. "Kanye, every time he's recording an album, he always has videographers with him 24/7," she said. "The camera crew filmed it." She later said via phone call to Kourtney: "She told everyone at the table, 'Well, I mean, it's true — Kanye totally, like, made me more famous.'" 
KUWTK didn't show the actual footage of Kanye talking to Taylor, but they did prove their point by airing b-roll of Kanye singing "Famous" in the studio. "I think she freaked out by the reaction, and all of a sudden, she flipped," Kim said.
Khloé Calls Taylor "Full of S--t"
While Kanye couldn't care less about what people think (actual quote: "I don't care"), Kim decided something needed to be done when audio came out of her husband slamming Taylor. The Wife of Pablo consulted "the team," and ultimately decided the best course of action was to defend Kanye in the press.


"[Taylor] legitimately, quote, says, 'As soon as I get on that Grammy red carpet, I'm gonna tell all the press I was in on it,'" she told Kourtney. "Just another way to play the victim. Definitely got her a lot of attention the first time." Kim admitted that Kanye "hurt" Taylor when he interrupted her to praise Beyoncé at the VMAs back in 2009, but said, "We all know that 'Single Ladies' was the biggest song of the year."
So, basically Kim's feelings on Taylor are, "Imma let you finish, but …" Oh, and Khloé's are "[She's] so full of s--t, and it pisses me off."
In Which Kim Comes for Piers Morgan
Because she was on a roll, Kim also decided to take down Piers after he wrote an entire blog post about her nude photo. "He wrote a whole blog about why don't I try to be successful with my clothes on," Kim complained to Kourtney. "Like, why don't you try to be successful with your clothes off; it's actually really hard." Annnnnd, awaiting Piers' tweets any second now …
Kim Gets Her M.I.L.F On
Fergie and Kim have been friends forever, sonaturally Kim appeared in her video for "M.I.L.F. $," and basically spent the entire time stressing about her body. But for those of you who think the star was Photoshopped, think again. She hardcore worked out to get in shape for the video, and used Chrissy Teigen as her inspiration, saying, "If Chrissy can do this, and she had a baby two weeks ago, I definitely can get it together, like, four months later." 
By the way, Kanye attended the shoot and insisted on redoing Kim's look because it wasn't on-brand. Good times.
Kylie Deals With Her Stalker Because #TeensToday
Like most high schoolers, Kylie has millions of social media followers. And while most of them are normal, she had a casual stalker who just had recently escaped the psych ward. So, what did Kylie's sisters do to ensure that she take the situation seriously? Prank her by attaching a bunch of creepy balloons to her car, duh! The totally terrifying hijinks!
