Crocodile Resort Project Launched at Ave-Dakpa in Akatsi, V/R

The first phase of a crocodile resort project has been launched at Ave-Dakpa in the Akatsi North District of the Volta Region as part of steps to promote tourism. 

The District Assembly intends to transform Ave-Dakpa Crocodile Resort, into a popular ecotourism site in the country and the West African Sub-Region. 

The Ave-Dakpa crocodile pond is a natural habitat for live crocodiles believed to have been in existence for over 80 years.  

The crocodiles numbering over 50 in the pond are friendly and entertaining. 

The Resort has been cited on nine acres of land that borders the pond and located in the heart of Ave-Dakpe the District capital of Akatsi North.  

Launching the project, the Volta Regional Minister, Dr Archibald Letsa noted that it is timely since it falls in line with government’s quest to harness natural resources in the country to create jobs. 

He therefore urged citizens from the area to cite their businesses at the resort in order to benefit from the project. 

The DCE for Akatsi North, Prince Sodoke Amuzu announced the readiness of the Assembly to enter into partnerships with local and foreign investors to propel the project to its full potential.
