Once British colony, since its independence (more than fifty years ago) Ghana has been one of the few politically stable realities in Africa, currently aimed to a robust development process thanks to its natural resources: gold (Ghana was once known as the "Golden Coast"), manganese and, recently, oilfields. From the agricultural point of view Ghana is one of the world's major exporters for cocoa (the world's best quality), valuable timber, rubber, etc.

English is the national language and its diffusion made the cohabitation among different ethnic groups easier, also considering that still nowadays each group has its own language (Ahanta, Fanti, and so on). Twi language, too, is still spoken (and taught at schools) by more than 7 million inhabitants.

Busua is a small fishing village in the Western Region; thanks to its marvellous beach it has become one of the most renowned resorts in Ghana. You will still find a lively fishing community and various kinds of accommodations, ranging from cheap 'chop bars' to the expensive restaurants and hotels.
