A Lethem businessman is constructing a luxury ‘green’ 60-room hotel in the area at an initial cost of $200M.
“It’s a luxury hotel and apartment building…it’s going to be an eco-friendly building”, businessman Daniel Gajie told Stabroek News today. Gajie, a former President of the Rupununi Chamber of Commence and Industry, said that construction began last July and is expected to be completed by the end of 2011. However, he is 
looking at a partial opening by the rodeo in Easter.
Gajie said that whenever events are held in the growing border community, existing hotel rooms are quickly filled. He said that initial targets are local Guyanese and packaged tours will be on offer. The hotel will offer all amenities. Gajie said that he is hoping to expand and the investment will eventually top US$2M.
