Guyana’s painfully ponderous journey towards a vibrant and lucrative tourism industry notwithstanding, newly elected President of the Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG) Andrea de Caires is upbeat about the prospects for the sector. “We are not where we need to be but we are moving in the right direction,” she says.
She believes that for the first time the board of the state-appointed Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) “is learning to behave the way it was intended to behave.”
