The Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commence along with the Ministry of Fisheries are undertaking a probe to ascertain the cause of an injury to a man’s foot at the Splashmins Resort, located along the Soesdyke\Linden Highway.
Ravindra Compton believes he was bitten by a piranha and he has raised safety concerns.
Cordel McClure, Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, told Stabroek News that the Ministry has not yet arrived at what approach will be taken on the matter since he explained that another follow up meeting was done on Friday with the resort. McClure said that the Guyana Tourism Authority met last Thursday with a representative from the Splashmins Resort to gain the resort’s perspective on the incident. McClure said a final decision will be taken on the matter to ascertain if there is any intervention that can be taken by his ministry. He also said he had to check to see how the second meeting went with the Resort to determine what happens next.
