Significant improvements must be made for Guyana’s Tourism Sector to thrive

Jul 05, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

Guyana’s tourism industry has a long way to go in developing a vibrant and attractive tourist sector. As an Air bnb host, I recently had a guest from India who visited to see the cricket matches. He recounted two horrible experiences at local casinos where different cashiers attempted to shortchange him. When he pointed out the discrepancies, the staff became upset with him. My guest, who has visited casinos worldwide, said he had never encountered such dishonesty before.

Additionally, he noted that the casinos displayed signs indicating the minimum wagers for playing at the tables. However, when he attempted to bet the minimum amount, he was told he had to wager a higher amount. This was another first for him in his global casino experiences.

My guest described Guyana’s casinos as the worst in the world, staffed by the most dishonest and disrespectful employees. Moreover, he arrived in Guyana with a sense of fear, hesitant to go anywhere without my accompaniment due to hearing that Guyana is a dangerous place for tourists.

These experiences paint Guyana as a dangerous and dishonest country in the eyes of tourists. For our tourism industry to thrive, significant improvements in safety, honesty, and hospitality are essential.

Sincerely,

Anthony Pantlitz
