dc.description.abstractRecreational activities in Ghana are generally limited in relation to its scope. Looking at exploration as a recreational activity that translates into activities that fall under the tourism sector, a remedy to the limitation placed on the scope of recreational activities in Ghana can in turn, boost the tourism culture that exists in Ghana. With the many technological advancements, social media has become quite common especially among the youth at large. This paper would be exploring a solution that would boost tourism through the use of social media.

From the analysis of the data gathered, recommendations on a solution that utilizes recommendation systems in getting its audience would be a good approach to boosting the tourism culture in Ghana were given.en_US
