In a significant move to improve the travel experience for visitors to Ghana’s tourist sites, the Ghana Tourism Development Company (GTDC) has officially launched the Fleetpool Management Services (FPMS).
This innovative car rental service, introduced under the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts, aims to revolutionize transportation for both local and international tourists.
At the launch event, Minister Dzifa Ablah Gomashie underscored the essential role of FPMS, characterizing it as a structured transport solution that enhances efficiency, safety, and reliability within the tourism sector.
She remarked on its significance in facilitating seamless mobility for tourists across Ghana’s diverse attractions.
“This platform is designed to streamline tourist mobility while promoting high driving standards and compliance with national regulations within the tourism and transport industries,” she noted.
The minister continued, explaining that FPMS harnesses GTDC’s extensive network and operational integrity to foster a public-private partnership. This collaboration enables the government and private sector to jointly deliver quality transport services for tourists.
“Beyond just providing vehicles, our focus is on fostering values such as professionalism and reliability,” she added. “Our aim is to build a system that reflects the excellence of Ghana’s tourism brand, helping position the country as a top destination in West Africa and beyond.”
Prof. Kobby Mensah, CEO of GTDC, affirmed the organization’s commitment to ensure adherence to GTA regulations, maintain vehicle quality, and facilitate driver training.
He outlined the stringent registration processes for car rental providers, emphasizing the importance of reviewing documentation and adhering to proper signup protocols.
Car owners will be tasked with vehicle maintenance while GTDC will prioritize driver training and quality assurance to deliver outstanding service.
Prof. Mensah invited interested applicants to register through the GTDC website or their social media channels, stressing the need for partners to meet comprehensive documentation and registration standards.
In addition, a specialized driver database will be developed, featuring skilled drivers who have completed specialized training and orientation. He encouraged potential drivers to engage via social media or the GTDC website for further information and opportunities to join the program.
