These handicrafts are heavily patronized by tourists especially the foreigners. An average of 50 tourists a day visits these sites. The sites also serve as training centres for foreigners who are interested in learning these handiworks. In spite of these potentials, basic infrastructure which can boost the tourism industry is lacking. The Municipal Assembly needs to initiate policy and create the enabling environment for investments in the development of the sites and the creating of recreational centres at these sites to attract more local and foreign tourists. Some of the issues to be addressed are poor roads to the sites and lack of sanitation facilities.
Another important tourist attraction site is the Antoa Shrine at Antoa which brings not less than 100 people daily to the place. This site offers a huge potential which the traditional authority can collaborate with the District Assembly to exploit to the benefit of the people.All these sites are less than 10 km from Kumasi, the regional capital.
