Dear Editor,
I am a regular traveller to North America and every now and then to a few Caribbean countries, so I spend a lot of time passing through the Cheddi Jagan International Airport. However, I’m disappointed at the way in which the airport is being kept, since the floors as well as the washrooms are in my opinion not up to international standard. This should not be since this is the first place persons visiting for the first time or who, like me, travel regularly, touch down. Further, there were a few times when I had to visit persons who are employed by the airport, and the conditions aren’t much better in the office area. The carpets are not kept properly and they smell of insecticide and mould despite the fact you may see a cleaner brushing the carpet. Now with the previous administration the same thing was happening, but I’m surprised that this currant administration hasn’t observed that there needs to be improvement in the cleaning and maintenance of this important place. We want to expand tourism, but this doesn’t speak well of what tourists will think of our country. I’m calling on the Chief Executive Officer of the CJIA to look into this matter, since it’s not a good reflection on the people in charge and certainly not a good reflection on the country.
Yours faithfully,
