The First Sky Group of Companies, a unique and diverse wholly owned Ghanaian holding entity, has been awarded the Corporate Organisation of the Year at the 2024 Volta Regional Tourism Awards.

Volta Serene Hotel, a member of the First Sky Group, also picked up an award as the ‘4 Star Hotel of the Year’ at the event held in Ho.

It was on the theme: ‘Celebrating innovation and recognising excellence in Ghana’s Tourism Sector’.

Mr Stevie-Derrick Armah, General Manager, Volta Serene Hotel who picked the awards on behalf of the Executive Chairman told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the awards meant a lot to the entire conglomerate.
