The Giftland Group believes that its cinema operations are being unfairly dealt with as similar businesses are being allowed to reopen.
This was disclosed in a letter to the Private Sector Commission which was seen by Stabroek News. In the letter, the company says that it is “dumbfounded” at how the company and its theatre operation are being disregarded as it relates to being allowed to reopen even as other businesses have received permission.
The correspondence stated, “In recent weeks restaurants, bars, and clubs are allowed to operate in Guyana with limited COVID operating restrictions. These are dining/ drinking/social/entertainment operations with considerably more interaction among customers themselves and the individual establishment employees than what a cinema operation entails.”
