Kpando Municipality has the potential for promoting domestic as well as international tourism. Unfortunately, the Municipality lacks the capital to invest in the industry. There are a number of impressive tourism potential and sites including natural environmental heritage, historical heritage, cultural and Traditional heritage and other attractions. Among the Natural attractions are the climate, mountains and other natural features of scenic beauty which together provide a broad base for the development of eco-tourism, recreation and various types of resorts.
Volta Lake
The Volta Lake is one of the man-made lakes that run through the Municipality and provides an important attraction and potential for much more extensive boat cruises, recreation, boating and fishing and development of lake shore resorts with recreational facilities for water sports.
Historical Heritage
Among the Historic Heritage are interesting histories of Kpando as an archaeological site and with records of German Colonial Administration. The Germans administered Kpando as a station under German Togoland Colony. They built stone and brick forts, residential houses and administrative offices at Kpando Todzi. The Kpando Todzi residences were later used by officials post colonial government until it was disused and locked up in 1990. The Fort however still houses prison inmates. Other tourism potentials in the Municipality are the production of handicrafts, the grottoes at Kpando Agbenoxoe and Kpando Aziavi, the German relics and Melili Peninsular at Torkor.
Oral history also had it that Kpando was well known source of slave and a transit route for captives from the Salaga market which resulted in the creation of a slave cave at Vakpo.
At Awate Todzi is a crocodile cave in the valley down from Todzi to Agame at a place called Dzongeme. The cave is under the custody of a fetish priest and the crocodiles make appearance to visitors only on Thursday.
Also in Awate are two mystical mountains which were believed to provide defence for the people in time of wars. These mountains are the Awawortoe which serve as a hideout for women and other minors during wars and mountain Akpotoe is believed to harbour swam of bees which act as combatants on battlefield.
There are several natural attractions that provide great potential for tourism development in Kpando District. There are lakes and islands at Kpando Torkor, Kpeve Tornu, Dzemeni, Wusuta and Awate Tornu, the estuary of the Dayi River and the Volta Lake, money mountains and caves at Wusuta and Botoku. Historical attractions include the Gbefi Bridge, built by the German Colonial Administration.
The palaces at Kpando Gabi and Peki Blengo, fetish shrines at Kpando Fesi and Kpando Dzigbe, as well as prayer and healing camps at Anfoega Avetikope and Yordan-Nu are cultural attractions. There are various festivals celebrated and dances performed in the district. There is Tedudu (yam festival) celebrated annually all over the district and Gbidukorza, held every three years.
There is also the Borborbor dance, popular all over the district, especially in the Kpando Central Area where the dance originated from. Religious attractions include the Catholic Grotto at Kpando Agbenorxoe and the interdenominational grotto at Kpando Aziave. The District Assembly is working in collaboration with the ministry of Tourism, Ghana Tourist Board, CEDECOM, Museums and Monument Board and the German Embassy to develop these attractions.
The private sector is invited to join in the effort which viabley and can provide very competitive returns. Given her rich natural resource endowment and high level of infrastructural development, the Kpando District is a very viable destination for private sector and bilateral / multilateral institutional investment and the District Assembly is committed to making it even more investment competitive.
Oral history also had it that Kpando was well known source of slave and a transit route for captives from salaga market which resulted in the creation of a Slave Cave at Vakpo. With time, the hospitality industry is growing with the availability of Guest house and hotel at Yordan-Nu with a costy environment
The major challenges impeding the development of a robust tourism industry in the district include the low private sector investment in the hospitality industry, weakness in resource sharing and the low political will.
It is instructive to note that the 1998, the District Assembly was voted best corporate citizen in local government, evidence is that Kpando District should be every investor’s first choice.
