Minister assures Diaspora…Tourism Industry is on the upbeat in Guyana

Sep 25, 2012 News

Tourism, Industry and Commerce Minister Mohamed Irfaan Ali has assured members of the Diaspora that the industry is on the upbeat in Guyana. The Minister was on a whirlwind visit to North America where he met and addressed several groups about the state of Guyana’s tourism and Industry sectors.
The Minister stressed how much Guyana was on the verge of opening the sector through the many events currently organized and implemented.  He brought his audiences up to date on the success of the recently held Building Expo, and reiterated that plans for the staging of this year’s GuyExpo were well in train with a number of new initiatives.
The Minister also hinted that several overseas Government and private sector organizations will be in attendance in the newly constructed International Pavilion. Canada and other countries are slated to provide exhibits in the areas of building and manufacturing products.
Other projects outlined by the Minister include a re-focus of the” Main Big Lime” on December 26. He said that new initiatives were being planned such as the layout of booths and products that will be on hand for display and sale.
Emphasis will be placed on Art and Craft. There will be some booths displaying locally produced household items such as cooking products and building supplies, since a number of Guyanese have taken the opportunity to secure lands offered by the Housing Ministry.
Another main event is the planned “Re-Discover Home” project which started this year, and will continue next year. The Minister also announced that US-based Guyanese broadcaster Bobby Vieira has been contracted by the Tourism Ministry to assist in Marketing and Promoting Guyana in the Diaspora. The Minister also hinted at Guyana’s possible elevation within the Caribbean Tourism Community through its attendance at the upcoming Annual Caribbean Tourism Conference, slated for Nevis in October. The Minister who met several interested groups and stakeholders returned home on Sunday.
