Eighth edition of “Guyana where & what” launched
Published by Gem Madhoo-Nascimento of G.E.M.S. Inc., the eighth edition of “Guyana where & what”, the premier
pocket-sized guidebook on Guyana, is now available for visitors to Guyana and Guyanese alike.
The first edition was published in 2007 for Cricket World Cup and has been published annually. It has been in popular demand since then.
The latest edition’s information section has been translated into Portuguese to cater to “our growing population of Brazilians residing in Guyana and to support Brazilian tourists, businessmen and traders visiting Guyana,” according to Madhoo-Nascimento.
She pointed out that this year’s guidebook, in addition to the comprehensive information it provides for visitors to Guyana, introduces special features on Guyana’s historical buildings, monuments and structures in New Amsterdam, Linden and the Essequibo Coast, fishing at Rewa Village, and on Guyana’s minerals.
Madhoo-Nascimento disclosed, too, that 20,000 copies will be in circulation at hotels, restaurants, airports, tour operators, resorts, travel agencies and Embassies.
The 134-page guidebook has a pullout 10 in. x 12 in. map of Georgetown and a map of Guyana. The Georgetown map is of Greater Georgetown, showing up to Cummings Lodge to the East and Industrial Estate, South Ruimveldt Park and South Ruimveldt Gardens to the South.
Though packed with a wealth of information, the guide is free and is supported mainly through advertising revenue from businesses.
Copies of the guidebook, which is designed and laid out by Grafix House, can be obtained from the Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana at Waterloo Street, Georgetown.
