| Mfantsipim seems to be sitting
on a gold mine as far as tourism is concerned. The reason being that, a
quantum of legacy has been bequeathed to her by the founding fathers.
The head of conservation international, Mr. Nkunu Akyea, at the heritage house
is ready to assist the school develop her tourist sites for the following
reasons
 | As the premier secondary school dating from Gold Coast times to
date. |
| Development |
| Original place of establishment sited within the most important tourist
sites in Cape Coast. |
| Grooming of nationalists. |
| Independence |
| Raising legends like Kofi Annan |
The PATO and one old bungalow (and annexes outside
the school) have been earmarked to store and showcase the heritage of Mfantsipim.

History & Tourist sites linkages.
In 1876 the governor sent an order from the castle
to the Methodist Synod that Mfantsipim should not be established at all,
let alone in his vicinity. Mfantsipim was to be established in Accra
because the seat of Gold Coast was moving to Accra.

Nkunu Akyea interacting with the team at Kakum |
| The Methodist Synod defied the government and
established Wesley High Boys School on Mount Hope slightly over
looking Steadfast Hill, where Wesley Girls High School was later
established.
Mount Hope seemed to be in the
centre of Cape Coast tourist sites.
Mfantsipim has a parade of legends.
(e.g. Kofi Annan)
Mfantsipim tourist site, when fully established ,will not be
too far from Kakum National Park and Hans
Cottage Botel where tourists flood everyday.
