The package for the tour which comes with a flight ticket for persons who wish to join includes 10 nights hotel accommodation, Canadian visa fees, biometric fees, tours in Toronto, etc.

Last month, the Guinness World Record announced Afua’s unsuccessful attempt to break the current record for the longest singing by an individual, an attempt she made in December 2023.

She completed her singing marathon at 126 hours and 52 minutes on December 29, 2023 aiming to break the current record by Sunil Waghmare, an Indian who sang for 105 hours in 2012.

But the GWR explained later in February 2024 that Afua Asaantewaa’s attempy failed because of “break timings not being met” which they assert is “a standard rule across all of our [GWR] longest marathon records.”
