An unfortunate incident
Dear Editor,
Being a private tourism advocate and performing the duty of a tour guide allowed me to meet some amazing nationals mainly from Norway, Canada, UK, Holland,US etc., in the past and that period were some glory days for me.
I was fortunate to see many places of interests in Guyana and now great friends with an American author/writer.
I just read with great sadness the report of a British national, Julie Warner who apparently was falsely accused of being a drug mule and was a guest of the state with a nightmare of an experience, as carried in the Kaieteur News issue of Sunday, October 18, 2009.
To the British Consulate/Embassy, I am so sorry and saddened with the un-fortunate experience meted out to a national of your country and it is my sincere hope that she gets all the help needed back home in gaining the courage and strength to continue her life’s journey.
Had I been aware about the situation, I would have definitely make myself available and volunteer my time on compassionate grounds.
I urge all foreign-based offices through circulars to your nationals that whenever planning and visiting the shores of Guyana to make every effort to contact The Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG) for all guidance that may be required for a visitor.
T. Pemberton
