Abstract

Ghana’s political stability and general hospitality over the years has made it an attractive destination for tourism to tourists and visitors from all over the world. The influx of businessmen and tourists into the country presents a range of opportunities for businesses such as guest houses, hotels and apartments in the hospitality industry. Despite the opportunities presented by the growing interest in Ghana, Suu’s Rahma Guest House, a residential facility which seeks to provide a serene environment for both local and international guests has recorded declining levels in patronage. It is a facility located in the East-Airport area, and seeks to achieve its goals by providing competitive pricing for accommodation and other residential facilities. The vision of the facility is to be one of the leading names in the hospitality industry, especially guest houses, and some strategies for success include, competitive pricing and reducing employee turnover rate.
