Kick-start planning for GuyExpo 2009

May 10, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
My belief is that when early planning is executed for any event, it makes life much easier.
In saying so, the organising committee of GuyExpo 2009 should get the ball rolling by firstly opening up the “Theme Competition” as they have usually done in recent years to the public. It should reflect around the colour “GREEN” because of its significance of 2009, globally.

Importantly, take up the challenge and have our neighbours participate on a large scale. That is, collaborate with the respective consulates and the opening up of the Takutu Bridge will definitely make situations less difficult from now onwards.

From my overseas trips in the past, I believe that there are indeed quite a lot of businesses that Guyana can tap into and having their presence, will also allow us to have a first hand look of what they have to offer.
Mexico will soon be having a consulate office opened in Guyana and an invitation should definitely be extended for participation.

Because of the negative coverage surrounding CLICO, I don’t foresee their participation, and should that prime spot be up for grabs where they usually used to display vehicles, it will be fair game to have potential businesses’ names placed in a bag, and the first one pulled be given the opportunity.
Don’t sell it to the highest bidder because it might cause confusion.
The Amerindian Ministry should also get kick-started and liaise with its regional counterparts for a bigger participation this time and begin the concept design for the Amerindian Village.
