Pioneering tour operator Frank Singh lives for the bush

Frank Singh

In 1995, tour operator Frank Singh, 63, of Diamond, East Bank Demerara and his wife Sabita took a lead and started the adventure tour company, Rainforest Tours, when local tourism was virtually unheard of. They wanted to give up the company at times but persevered and today it is one of two local tour companies still operating in Guyana from the 1990s.

“We have been around for 27 years and Rainforest Tours is now internationally recognised as a tour company. We were one of the first local tour companies that started in this country.

The only three established companies in those days were Wonderland Tours, Rainforest Tours and Wilderness Explorers. Only Rainforest Tours and Wilderness Explorers are still operational.”
