To fulfill the Ministry of Tourism’s requirement of promoting tourism along the Mensa Guinea shorelines, the Accra Riviera was conceived. The scheme emphasises tourism by placing an international 18-hole golf course and a contemporary race track capable of hosting international racing competitions, including the grand prix in the scheme. The current Jamestown fishing harbour has also been enhanced. It features tourist centred activities, such as  traditional net weaving area, a local canoe-making area, etc.
