Children as Stakeholders in Sustainability: Childism Perspective on Ghana’s Tourism, Hospitality, and Events

People often neglect children in conversations around making tourism, hospitality and events greener. In Ghana children are not involved in matters that affect them. Most methods are claimed to be “adult” methods. This study demonstrates why children should be viewed as active participants in creating sustainable futures by utilising the concept of childism, a method of thinking that contradicts adult-centered thinking. This study examined reports, studies, and policies. This study advocated for the national tourism policy to set objectives that are relevant for children. Ghana's tourism, hospitality and events industry and other stakeholders have to engage children as partners in the sector, rather than simply as passive observers. Involving children through formal channels of engagement, such as advisory boards and youth-led initiatives, will not only enhance the industry but will also help to create more equitable and sustainable outcomes for children in Ghana.
