The Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG) has joined with Guyana Together to advocate for  decriminalization of same-sex intimacy.

Coinciding with World Tourism Day 2024, the two groups held a discussion at the Marriott Hotel themed “Tourism and Peace: Embracing Peace through Diversity and Inclusion.”

During the discussion, Amarylis Lewis, a Senior Trip Planner at Wilderness Explorers,  expressed  concern about the negative perceptions potential LGBTQ+  visitors hold regarding Guyana’s laws.
