Guyana’s tourism sector is poised for another enhancement with the entry of the exclusive tourism operator Abercrombie & Kent into the local market.
This development was announced by President Dr Irfaan Ali on his Facebook page following a meeting with Geoffrey Kent, the founder and Chairman Emeritus of Abercrombie & Kent, on Saturday.
During the meeting, Kent was accompanied by local Wilderness Explorer Toney Thorne, while President Ali was joined by Minister of Tourism, Industry, and Commerce Oneidge Walrond, Guyana’s High Commissioner to London, Rajendra Singh, and Director of Presidential Affairs Marcia Nadir-Sharma.
Abercrombie & Kent is a prestigious luxury travel company known for creating unique and enjoyable travel experiences, with a strong emphasis on sustainable tourism.
The arrival of this esteemed operator in Guyana highlights the country’s growing tourism appeal and reflects the confidence that international businesses have in the stability and potential for growth within the economy.
President Ali has consistently advocated for the development of Guyana’s tourism sector, encouraging significant investments from large-scale tourism operators to capitalise on the opportunities available.
The government has also been making substantial investments to enhance Guyana’s eco-tourism industry, blending modern amenities with the country’s natural beauty. These efforts aim to enrich Guyana’s already impressive array of unique sights and tourism experiences.
The President has underscored that increased investment from the private sector will further accelerate this growth.
A significant opportunity for expanded partnerships will arise at the upcoming International Business Conference (IBC), which will focus on improving the ease of doing business and fostering investments between international companies and Guyana.
The conference is scheduled to take place from 15th to 17th October and will be co-hosted by the Suriname-Guyana Chamber of Commerce (SGCC) and the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA). [Extracted and modified from the Department of Public Information]
