Guyana’s ‘oil economy’ attracts regional interest in stronger business ties

Come January, for the second time in three months, a private sector delegation from Jamaica will visit Guyana, a development that sends a definitive message that the CARICOM territory known for the strides that it has made as a standout country in the global tourism industry, is now seriously interested in strengthening business ties with Guyana.

 When, in October last year, Jamaica’s Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce (MIIC), Senator Aubyn Hill had arrived in Guyana at the head of a modest Jamaica private sector delegation, he had at the time, shared with the Stabroek Business, information regarding the likelihood of a further, larger business delegation paying another visit in January.
