摘要：
Strategies for redesigning ecotourism facilities for the sustenance of their benefits are limited in the conventional literature.To address this gap, this study assesses the bene?ts and challenges of the Lake Bosomtwe ecotourism facility in Ghana. Data were obtained from 136 respondents who were carefully selected from the facility's catchment. The results indicate the facility makes profound contribution to local economic development. However, poor environmental practices (poor waste management and agricultural practices) within the catchment area hamper the sustenance of the facility and its benefits.This study outlines strategies for redesigning the Lake Bosomtwe ecotourism facility to sustain its benefits.
