Hi Bob. I will be interested in hearing about your visit. I don't want to leave an impression that visiting a historical spot like Accompong Town should not be on ones list of things to do. Remember, when I first visited in 1990, they were relatively untouched by tourism and were authentic in their welcoming of the rare visitor. Over the years, Accompong Town has matured and not always in a good way.

Now, a visitor is treated more like a source of income much like at a restaurant where the waiter is anxious for you to leave (after leaving a tip) so the table can be filled by another customer. Even that wouldn't be so bad if they meal is worth the money or, in their case, the experience is worth the cost which can vary by the visitor and/or the guide.

A few individuals have weaseled into positions representing the town where they have adversely affected the process. Enriching themselves at the town and the town people's expense.

I will always love Accompong Town though.

Respect
