The country boasts of very good golf courses, safe and unspoilt beaches with world class hotels and restaurants. Most cities have many active 'Keep Fit Clubs' which have members from different countries. There are also facilities for game fishing (mauling).
Ghana has a multiparty parliamentary democracy based on a constitution which guarantees the separation of powers between the executive, legislature and the judiciary. The presidency has a four-year term and an incumbent can serve for a maximum of two terms. Also, a decentralised central government administration has been fostered at local government level where there are 10 Regional Co-ordinating Councils, 110 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies which serve to involve grassroots participation in the formulation and implementation of government policies and the general development of their areas of jurisdiction.
There is a vibrant free press in the country.
