Tourism Association calls for peace, stability ahead of elections

See below the full release from THAG: 

With Guyana’s General and Regional  Elections just over three weeks away, the Tourism & Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG)  is urging all political parties, stakeholder bodies, and the general Guyanese populace to uphold a code of tolerance, maturity, peace, and stability—particularly during this critical period leading up to, during, and immediately after the elections. 

Elections often come with heightened emotions and tensions. In such times, it is more important than ever that we act with restraint and unity. THAG encourages everyone to de-escalate potential conflicts in our homes, workplaces, communities, and across the nation. 

Let us work together to ensure that Guyana remains a safe and welcoming destination—for ourselves and for all visitors, whether they are here for business or leisure. 

As we look ahead, plans for the year 2026 continue. Guyana will celebrate 60 years as an independent nation, and excitement is already building. Some hotels are fully booked, and tours are being planned. We have much to explore, unite, and mix in 2026—but this will only be possible if we protect the peace and stability that allow our people and our tourism industry to thrive. 

Let peace be our priority. Let unity be our strength. Let 2026 be our celebration.
