President Irfaan Ali last evening officially opened the Aiden, a Best Western franchise hotel at the corner of Oronoque and Robb streets, with a nod to the crucial role of local investment and the importance of global competitiveness in Guyana’s hospitality sector.
Commending the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) for backing the project, developed by Arimu Investment Group, he said, “We should applaud the banking sector. GBTI played a pivotal role in providing the financial support necessary… showing trust in our local investors. This is a key example of how we can move forward together as a nation.”
He said that Guyana was not in competition with itself but with the global market. “We must build our projects with a mindset that understands we’re not just competing locally. We are part of a global environment, and if we want to win in that environment, we need to learn and adopt a winning culture.”
