Abstract:
Tourism and oil are two important sectors that can individually and collectively shape the nature of every economy. This paper reviews literature on the relationships between oil exploration and tourism development and, based on that, hypothesizes about these two in the context of the Ghanaian economy. It is observed from the outcomes that two sectors can relate in either a deterministic, collaborative or competitive way. The paper explores the potential dynamics of each of these relationships in the Ghanaian setting and proffers a few policy recommendations to address them
