Tourism Ministry debunks fake AI videos claiming airlines pulled out of Guyana

See below full statement issued by the Ministry of Tourism, Industry & Commerce:

The Ministry of Tourism, Industry & Commerce is urging the public and media to disregard recently circulated AI-generated videos falsely claiming that major airlines have suspended operations to Guyana. These claims are entirely untrue.

Guyana’s airlift remains strong, with all scheduled airlines continuing their regular services. No airline has “pulled out” of Guyana. In fact, the country has seen consistent growth in arrivals. In a release issued on August 10, the Ministry confirmed that Guyana recorded 242,655 visitor arrivals between January and July 2025, an eighteen (18%) increase compared to the same period in 2024.

The Ministry stresses that the videos in question are fabricated using artificial intelligence and do not reflect the reality of Guyana’s tourism and aviation landscape. Guyana continues to benefit from steady airline partnerships, ongoing route development, and strong interest from regional and international markets.

The Ministry remains committed to transparency and encourages travellers to rely on official sources for accurate information about travelling to and from Guyana.
