Brong Ahafo is the great agricultural region of Ghana, and is often recognised as our breadbasket as, apart from its extensive forests reserve and cocoa plantations, it has considerable acreage of food crops.

The villages of Brong Ahafo are of great interest to tourists throughout the year. Traditional farming methods are found side by side with more modern land management, while the friendliness and sense of hospitality of the people reflect the basic cultural attraction of Ghana. Of particular interest in many villages will be the traditional healers who use herbal medicines to cure a wide variety of ailments.

Largely unspoilt by industrial development, the region is one of the most attractive in Ghana. The people of the region have been farmers for generations, benefiting from their longer than average rainfall seasons, and the busy markets in the small towns and villages display the colourful results of their husbandry, as well as local pottery, weaving and other attractive and useful crafts and artifacts.

The main towns in the region are Sunyani, the regional capital, and Techiman, legendary birthplace of the Akan people. Close to Techiman is the famous Catholic monastery of Tuobodom.

Visitors will be welcome in many of our traditional villages, and enjoy visiting agricultural fairs and local festivals. Visits to cocoa farms and lumber factories can be arranged by the regional office of the Ghana Tourist Board.

A selection of welcoming hotels and restaurants will be found in the main towns of the region
