Guyanese participating in October Florida Trade Expo to again receive free booths

Guyanese businesses participating in the October 18-20 Florida International Trade and Cultural (FITC) Expo in Fort Lauderdale will benefit from some of the free exhibition display booths assigned to small and medium-sized enterprises. 

The cost-saving facility from which Guyanese participants in the event will benefit has been facilitated by the Guyanese American Chamber of Commerce (GACC). Stabroek Business has also learnt that the GACC has written to Tourism Minister Oneidge Walrond “to determine whether there is any assistance the Government of Guyana could provide to some of the small entrepreneurs who wish to participate in this event. Optimum Guyanese participation in the event in previous years has been negatively affected by  the costs associated mostly with travel and meeting expenses associated with staying in the United States for the duration of the event.
