Due to its multidisciplinary nature, tourism planning is a complex activity requiring an integrated approach, private and public sector partnership, and inter‐agency and inter‐sectoral coordination, as well as community involvement. For most developing countries, comprehensive and systematic tourism planning is a new or recent phenomenon. This paper describes the tourism planning experience of Ghana, examines the current 15‐year Tourism Development Plan for the period 1996–2010, and briefly discusses some of the challenges facing the successful implementation of the tourism plan.
