Destination Guyana to be promoted to Chinese Eco and Adventure Tourists from China.
Guyana’s efforts to attract more tourists to promote its adventure and eco-tourism product, has been given a “shot in the arm”. A special marketing presentation was recently undertaken in the City of Fuzhou,
The Guyana Delegation with some of the Travel Agents and Tour Operators of Fuzhou
in the Fujian Province of the People’s Republic of China.
This was according to a press release from the Global Friendships Foundation (GFF).
According to the release, the special advertising campaign was held at a special forum with travel agents and tour consultants from Fuzhou City and other parts of the Fujian Province, to publicize the exceptional tourism products Guyana has to offer to travelers from around the world, but more specifically, to tourists from the People’s Republic of China who are into culture, adventure, sports and eco-tourism.
“Those in attendance were told of Guyana’s unspoiled beauty, unique cultural heritage and natural attractions which makes it an ideal destination for Chinese tourists.
As opposed to the sun and sand tourism product offered by many of its Caribbean neighbours, the agents and operators were advised that Guyana offers a distinct product—vast open spaces, savannahs, virgin rainforests, mountains, huge rivers and waterfalls, the most famous of which is the majestic Kaieteur Falls, known to be the highest single drop waterfall in the world and five times taller than Niagara Falls.”
Attendees were also shown a number of audiovisual (A/V) and PowerPoint presentations of Guyana’s abundant wildlife, numerous species of flora, a variety of fauna and spectacular birdlife.
Specifically as it relates to Georgetown, the GFF indicated that the attendees were shown its picturesque, tree-lined avenues, bustling markets, and wooden buildings, including the renowned St. George’s Cathedral, reportedly the world’s tallest wooden building.
Also during the forum, a special presentation was done on the Aruwai White H20 Resort facility, the $15 billion resort, situated on an island in the mighty Essequibo River, which opened its doors last month, and which houses 50 rooms, a spa, gym and all the modern amenities for tourists and locals to enjoy a vacation surrounded by attractive foliage scenery just off the left bank of the Essequibo River.
“The travel agents and tour consultants were particularly captivated by the possibilities this new facility offered Chinese tourists such as cruises to nearby Amerindian villages and tours to nearby waterfalls and mining areas.”
