Well-travelled AIBA’ Three-star and Olympic referee, James Beckles is of the opinion that once the Caribbean Schoolboys and Juniors Tournament is well marketed and developed, it has the potential to be part of Guyana’s Sports Tourism industry.
The Trinidadian made the above comments yesterday at Olympic House shortly after his opening remarks of a three-day seminar ahead of the three-day tournament which starts tomorrow.
Said Beckles “There are few schoolboy tournaments around the world so once people know that there is a school boy tournament here, this can be an internationally marketed event in the next couple of years. Beckles added “I told Mr. Ninvalle that he has a prize here and with proper marketing and development this can expand not just for the Caribbean but this can become an international event which can provide a Sports Tourism avenue for Guyana.”
