Tourism
Mankon plays host to several tourism conveniences amongst which is a modern museum located at the 'ntoh', the palace of the fon, and is opened to the public. This museum constitutes a major tourist destination in Northwest Province, with a gallery of art and craft dating back several centuries.
The most convenient time to visit the Mankon fondom is during the December and New Year periods when the kingdom has its annual dance, during which the people celebrate and also have the rare occasion of mixing with the fon. Festivities may last a week and it is a great time for cultural display. Such festivities give the Mankon people the opportunity to savor the varied rhythms of African music and to meet expert drummers and musicians of the kingdom.
