Guyana tourism has received yet another boost with the publication of an article in the April/May issue of the leading United Kingdom (UK) magazine ‘Wanderlust’.
Written by travel writer, Mr. John Gimlette, it said, in part: “Everything seemed abundant and even the birds seemed to jangle like fresh-minted money’ - ‘A cattle roundup is like an extraordinary violent sport in which no one miraculously gets hurt.”
It was how he described ‘Destination Guyana’ under the caption ‘In God’s garden’, after visiting this country earlier this year and spending 40 days, during which he travelled extensively in his quest to write a book on the peoples of the Guianas, while experiencing the natural beauty and wonders of Guyana and its diverse population and culture.
Apart from writing for publications such as ‘Wanderlust’ and ‘The Guardian’, among other top travel magazines in the UK, Gimlette is the author of ‘At the Tomb of the Inflatable Pig – Travels through Paraguay, Theatre of Fish and Panther Soup.’
Loved the way Guyana was described….”God’s Garden”
ReplyDeleteEvery Guyanese should feel proud of their country!
Guyana is probably the only country that is growing and developing despite global challenges.
ReplyDeleteTourism is something that brings in a lot of revenue for your country and if Guyana should get their Tourism industry streamlined this could mean big developments for us!
It is quite interesting to know that some of the largest tour operators in the United Kingdom want to come to Guyana to see and sell its tourism product.
ReplyDeleteThe publicity that Guyana receives from these Familiarization trips are enormous and without this promotion it is extremely difficult for a small destination to gain world-wide attention as will be provided by the Familiarization trip.Tourism sector will surely get a boost.
