The Event Vendors Association of Ghana believes that as long as the COVID-19 vaccines are effective, its members will be able to bounce back this year.

Kate Hassan, the Association’s President, told Citi Business News that event organizers would soon be able to make up for their losses caused by the epidemic.

“With their vaccines in place and everything, things are getting better, and we’re really learning how the pandemic and the corona work, and it’s getting a lot better.” We’re getting feedback on what to do and what not to do, so things are improving, and we’re looking forward to a brighter future and a robust industry.”

The Vice President of EVAG, Cee Kudjoe, also urged her colleagues not to relax on insisting on the COVID-19 protocols at their various events to prevent another spike of the virus.

Some executives of EVAG spoke to Citi Business News on the sidelines of the launch of the Ghana Event Industry Conference (GEIC) 2022.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to the introduction of some restrictions that were detrimental to various industries including the hospitality and tourism sector.

President Akufo-Addo on March 15, 2020, banned all public gatherings, in his eighth televised broadcast to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the country.

The ban was further extended until the end of May 2020.

The Event Vendors Association of Ghana was one of the groups of businesses that had bemoaned the massive effect of the ban on their business.

The group was particularly concerned about its members and clients who had already invested heavily in events scheduled for the period.

But with the nationwide rollout of the jabs, coupled with the easing of some of these restrictions, things are gradually returning to normal.
