VoyagesAfriq (VA) was the recipient of the โ€œTourism Oriented Media of the Year (Online)โ€ at Ghanaโ€™s 2019 National Tourism Awards which took place last Friday, 6 November, 2020 at the National Theatre in Accra. This makes it two in a row for VA as it took the award last year.

The media outletโ€™s Content Editor and Writer, Samuel Obeng Appah also notched up the coveted โ€œTourism Writer of the Yearโ€ award.

The latest accolade comes on the heels of the Most Outstanding Tourism Media and Marketing in Africa award which VA won at the 2020 Africa Tourism Leadership Forum and Awards last October in Rwanda.

โ€œYour reportage on tourism goes beyond the boundaries and shores of Ghana, and this has marketed Ghana both domestically and internationally as a preferred tourist destination,โ€ part of the citation read.
