Winston Jordan

Government will continue to support the local tourism sector with further investments in marketing, capacity building and product development, while investments in critical infrastructure will reduce the cost of accessing Guyana’s unique tourism brand, says Finance Minister Winston Jordan.

The aforementioned was related on Monday during Jordan’s 2019 budget presentation. No sum was quoted for the further investments, he mentioned.

“Additionally, we have included several goodies in the tax measures for 2019, including tax credits linked to investments in hinterland regions and further tax exemptions for certain vehicles used to transport tourists anywhere in Guyana,” the minister stated.
