The Tano South District was formerly a Sub – District of the
Sunyani District and later divided into two to become the Tano District and
which was later divided into the Tano North and South Districts. Bechem
Traditional Area can be found in these two districts, Tano South and Tano
North. The Traditional Area has some undeveloped tourist sites which include
the Kwasu Bamboo Groove and the Onyina Kyere at Dwomo.
The Kwasu Bamboo Groove is situated from a distance one (1) kilometer from the Kwasu Township, a farming village in the Tano South District with a distance of five (5) kilometres from the District Capital Bechem. The groove can be located on the Kwasu Abodai road.
What
is unique about this groove is that it occupies a large track of land besides
the Kwasu river and provides shelter to it. Another unique feature of the place
is that the Kwasu river gives a melodious sound over the rocks it runs.
RECOMMENDATION:
It
is recommended that the Tano South District Assembly take up the mantle of
developing the site or invite investors to team up with to develop these places
of interest.
The Kwasu Bamboo Groove when developed could earn revenue for the District Assembly and attract Tourist to the district to enhance trade and job opportunities.
