Ghana is open to tourists and international leisure travel is functioning, with arrivals still growing. The main trip-planning issues are regional insecurity in the north and near the Burkina Faso border, plus recent flooding impacts and some payment/ID friction. Most leisure trips remain feasible, but itineraries that include northern border areas need extra caution.
