Social Cohesion

The ability of society to live in oneness is largely contributed to by culture and festivals being a big part of the culture will always be mentioned in that regard as well. Festivals are large tools to make people bond stronger to fight a common enemy.

Social cohesion refers to the strength of relationships and the sense of solidarity among members of a community which in this case is Ghana at large. Many people are able to sympathize with people of diverse cultural backgrounds and as well celebrate their wins with them in harmony.

Ethnic Tolerance

Sometimes because of the wide variations in the ways of doing things among these ethnic groups, there seems to be discomfort among them on certain levels but above all, because they have to travel and witness the festivals of others and as well join them to celebrate, they, in turn, understand them and live to accept their differences.

Foreign Exchange

In Ghana, festivals come along with arts and culture. Art has over the years expanded its horizon to the extent that the world loves it so much. Many people from around the world will pay thousands of dollars to acquire a piece of art and that becomes a foreign exchange.

Also, there are a lot of people who travel out of the country to study in other jurisdictions because of their cultural backgrounds and love and cheer for festivals all over the country. People also engage in exchange programs where foreigners come to Ghana and Ghanaians travel abroad just to study diverse cultures. All these add up to the foreign exchange earnings of Ghana.

Tourism Promotion

As has been the case over the years, tourism has always had its roots in festivals and that will not change anytime soon. All over the world, people have pinned festivals on their calendars and prepared for them all year.

Ghana year on year receives internationals at her airport and borders. Many of these foreigners come into the country for particular festivals and write books and novels about them. While in the country, they take time to travel to the many Top Historical Monuments To See In Ghana holds dear and take pictures which they show out there when they eventually return.

International Exposure

For any country to be recognized in the international world has to come with various reasons. The beautiful culture of Ghana has always attracted international media and thereby creating international exposure for Ghana and her people.

For instance, the BBC sends its media persons into Ghana often to take up the job of filming various festivals and publishing their findings to the world at later times.
