“Listening to the man, (His Excellency) he understands the sector. I think he understands where it needs to go and I am looking forward for a bright future after the meeting,” Stephenson told the Government Information Agency (GINA) in an invited comment.THAG launched the latest edition of the Explore Guyana Magazine ‘The Call of the Wild’ in December 2011 which Stephenson described as one of the main marketing tools for Guyana on the international scene.
Published by the Advertising and Marketing Services (AMS) the magazine showcases a number of optional tourist activities and destinations that one can be involved in throughout the length and breadth of Guyana.
At the launch, Stephenson had proposed that the contributions that the tourism sector has made over the years be examined with a view of having the sector recognized as a major budgetary item.
He also made a pitch for tourism marketing specialists to be brought into the country to assist Guyana in building its technical capacity as it relates to marketing the sector.
Stephenson who is also proprietor of the Cara Suites Hotel and Conference Centre is pleased with the success of the magazine in reaching the targeted audience and expressed the hope that the investment has a reciprocal benefit of influencing the readership to visit Guyana. (GINA)
