An open letter to Robeson Benn

Georgetown Guyana.

Dear Minister,
Re: Cost of air travel to and from Guyana.

Having regard to the recent steep increase in the cost of airline tickets for travel to and from Guyana and the claim by Airlines that the increased fares are unavoidable;
I wish to strongly recommend that the government travel voucher tax of 15% which is a component of the ticket cost be reduced by 10 % to help cushion the impact on the Guyanese travelling public.
It is hoped that government sees the wisdom in this recommendation and act swiftly upon it.
With highest regards.
Yours truly,

……………………………………..
Joseph F Harmon, MP.
Shadow Minister Public Infrastructure,
Communication, Tourism Industry & Commerce.

Cc. Hon. Min. Irfaan Ali- Minister of Tourism, Industry & Commerce.
