The Princess Hotel chain deserves much credit

DEAR EDITOR,
I would like to take the opportunity on behalf of all Guyanese to briefly congratulate and thank the Princess Hotel chain for offering to us, a brand new, state-of-the-art movie theatre and arcade gaming entertainment centre.
In my opinion, all too frequently, entrepreneurs, whether local or foreign, have not focused enough on providing family-oriented services and entertainment to our nation. This is a very important avenue which must be continually developed and expanded, particularly in this modern age. The family unit is indeed the single most indispensible cornerstone of life and in light of the many challenges and hardships that Guyanese families must endure together given today’s economic realities, there must be proper and affordable outlets for families to enjoy together.
Much to my surprise, the Princess Hotel chain has finally got the ball truly rolling, in providing us with family-oriented fun and entertainment, the quality of which is, at present, unrivaled in Guyana. The Princess Hotel chain has not, as many often do, taken shortcuts to maximize profitability by offering inferior, substandard or outdated services, but rather, has raised the bar by constructing an ultramodern movie theatre and gaming entertainment centre.
Having recently returned from my honeymoon in Barbados with my beautiful wife, I would even venture to say that the movie theatre at Princess Hotel is as nice as or nicer than any option to be found there and further, to my knowledge, there is no gaming entertainment centre there whatsoever. Above and beyond all else, this is what I am truly thankful to the Princess Hotel chain for—providing our Guyanese brothers and sisters, who work tirelessly to support their families, with the very best quality of entertainment possible.
Aside from the pure quality and high-tech features to be found at Princess Hotel, and perhaps somewhat more important in the context of movie-going, is that for the first time in many years, Princess’ movie theatre offers the latest and most current movies available to our nation. This is what truly separates Princess from other alternative locations in Guyana, and is what other similarly-situated businesses must strive to emulate. Guyanese people are not fools and should not be treated as such—if it is movies they wish to see, they deserve to be able to choose from up-to-date options, not two- or three-year-old movies selected for them.
I also wish to thank the Princess Hotel chain for offering us these new and exciting services at a relatively affordable cost. Most of the arcade games there cost $100 GYD, which is a comparatively fair rate compared to arcade game centres around the world, which oftentimes cost closer to the equivalent of $200 GYD. Similarly, movie ticket prices in the US are now about $13 USD, which is nearly double the amount charged at Princess, $1500 GYD. So the Princess Hotel chain has not only created a unique, exciting entertainment option wholly unavailable in Guyana, but in so doing, it has also courteously made this option available to Guyanese from all walks of life, rather than simply a handful of persons.
As such, I offer the Princess Hotel chain my congratulations and gratitude and wish them nothing but continued success and I implore all Guyanese to patronize this establishment when the time and circumstances permit.
Cheddi B. Jagan II, Esq.
