Internal Analysis
Strengths. Ghana is a diverse country where tribal distinctions are clear and regional areas are steep in their individual histories. Ghana’s notable strength is not allowing regional differences to cause contention between communities, which enables them to coexist and work toward a common goal without fear of conflict. Another strength is that English is the official language and the religious majority is Christian, which promotes easy interaction among tourists and Ghanaians. The absence of language and religious barriers aides in encouraging English speaking and Christian based tourists to visit Ghana.
Ghanaians are committed to improving their economy and developing into a travel destination country. Yet, surprisingly a considerable amount of tourism is coming from within the country’s population. Still, this commitment in itself is a strength. The country enters the 21st century by embracing social media to increase their exposure to the world. Ghanaians are Twittering about everything from elections to football games. Ghanaian leaders understand the importance of technology and internet marketing.
Weakness. A weakness that affects Ghana’s tourist industry is the country’s underdeveloped infrastructure. The country

The people of Ghana would go on to become priests, doctors, and more. People in Ghana always wanted to learn and would take pride in what they were learning. The people would go to great lengths for a good education and would work hard to make books for the people. In Document 4 it talks about how the people of Ghana would live good lives with good jobs they got with their high level education. In Document 7 it shows the way people valued the books they read and made them with love. As Document 4 states, “Here are many doctors, judges, priests, and other learned men that are well maintained at the king's costs” (Document 4). In Document 7 it says, “...there are in Timbuktu numerous judges, teachers and priests, all properly appointed by the king. He greatly honors learning. Many hand-written books imported from Barbary are also sold” (Document 7). Clearly all these citizens have such important roles in the town because they are well educated, and are trustworthy. People would not trust these people if they had little to no education; this is why the people of Ghana valued education. Also, the king loved books and wanted his people to be educated so they could get great jobs. This would boost the economy of Ghana and cause the empire to improve. Everyone in Ghana highly valued education and thought it was quite important everyone was well educated which helped make Ghana what people know

Social media has taken off like a rocket throughout the years. The annoying sound of a modem connecting has turned into a soundless transaction. The wait time to connect is instant, opening a global world of interactions for people. You can now connect with anyone, anywhere at anytime at least once a day. Social media defined by Goyal is “Any platform,which provides the facility of sharing ideas, exchanging information and sending messages over an electronic medium, is considered as social media.” (Goyal,222).
