Guyana tour handbook being compiled

A Guyana tour guide handbook is currently being compiled which will provide all the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the services visitors to this country might require.

It will be launched in the third week in March, and will be titled ‘Guyana – where & what,’ a release from the publisher, General Executive Management Services Inc (GEMS) said last week.

The handbook would be conveniently pocket sized, and would give all the con-tact information for hotels, resorts, tour operators, gift shops, souvenir shops, car rentals, taxi services, restaurants, night clubs, food houses, places of interest, museums, art galleries, internet cafes, beauty parlours, pools, gyms, bookshops and the like. The release went on to say that it would also include other information, such as do’s and don’ts, foreign exchange, emergency and health care, major events of one kind or another and a brief history of Guyana.

GEMS said the book would be enhanced with colour photographs and would be available at no cost from airports, hotels, resorts, restaurants and all businesses which support the publication.
