Ghana’s 24-hour economy could be a lesson for Australia

The introduction of a 24-hour economy policy has the potential to increase night-time activity, giving consumers an array of entertainment, hospitality, transportation and economic options.

It gives people not only greater flexibility for these services, but also in the timing of their engagement.

That said, there are challenges including noise pollution, transportation inadequacies, public intoxication and the vulnerability of certain populations.

All of these must be addressed to help Ghanaians accept a more vibrant night-time culture.
