The Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) is currently assessing a number of potential sites and products in order to further develop the country’s growing potential as a tourism destination. It also plans to launch additional products and experiences this year by interlinking various administrative regions.
According to GTA Senior Product Development Officer Clyde Edwards, the new initiative is known as circuit development, which he said helps in further promoting tourism sites once they are interlinked. He explained that a tour of North Rupununi in Region Nine might start at Iwokrama, “then you stop at Atta Lodge and you go to Surama then to Rock View and Karinambo, Caiman House to Waikin Ranch, Manari Ranch and you end in Lethem. So, in that region, they have developed different experiences for their guests at different locations. … That is a kind of circuit we are hoping to develop in Moruca sub-district, because what we found out is that when you have all these different experiences at different locations it contributes more to the development of each destination.”
