Guyana to seek investments for all-inclusive resorts next week – President

President Dr. Irfaan Ali on Wednesday said expressions of interest for all-inclusive resorts across Guyana will be sought next week.

Though Guyana’s national elections will be held next week, the incumbent Head of State expressed confidence that he will be re-elected and that the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) government will be able to continue its developmental plans for Guyana.

“Within the first week of the next term (in office), we will be issuing the expressions of interest,” President Ali said while speaking at the opening of the new Courtyard by Marriott Hotel at Timehri, East Bank Demerara.

According to President Ali, the government is interested in having such resorts at Orinduik, Lethem, Leguan, Linden, #63 Beach (Berbice), Bartica, and at the Stabroek and Vreed en Hoop waterfront areas. So, he invited both local and international partners to get behind this venture.

Expanding the tourism sector, focusing heavily on Guyana’s ecotourism prowess, has been a huge focus of the Ali-led government. On Wednesday, the President made it clear that the government will continue to invest in this sector as part of wider diversification efforts.
