    The most interesting and tourist attraction in my community for your holidays are Kintanpo water falls, a town near my community. Peoples always come there on holidays and their leisure time. Another tourist place is Boabeng-Fiema monkey sanctuary, where people come there to watch different varieties of monkeys.
