As Guyana strives to rebuild and expand its tourism sector, a new online booking app has been launched to enable easier access by potential visitors from across the world to the country’s offerings.

The Kaietour app, which is already available for download by both Android and iOS users, is the creation of Florida-based Guyanese tech entrepreneur Salaudeen Nausrudeen, who says the platform would help to market Guyana’s tourism products to tourists and Guyanese themselves, allowing them to book flights, accommodations, tour packages and transportation.
