Miss Lopes will arrive in Guyana on September 12 as a guest of McNeal Enterprise and the Ministry of Tourism and depart on September 16, one day after the pageant is held.
While here, Miss Lopes is scheduled to meet with President Donald Ramotar.
She will visit the Kaieteur Falls, the Georgetown Public Hospital, University of Guyana, the Palms and other places of interest. Lopes’ visit will mark the second time that a reigning Miss Universe queen was brought to Guyana by McNeal Enterprise following a visit by Amelia Vega in 2003.
Wendy Fitzwilliam (1998) and Mpule Kwelagobe (1999) were present in 2002 at the first Miss Guyana Universe pageant organized by McNeal.
Fourteen delegates will, on September 15 at the Princess Hotel and Casino, vie for this year’s Miss Guyana Universe crown.
