THAG Reports Strong Tourism Growth

Guyana’s tourism scene is booming as THAG reports a massive $20 million revenue jump—up from $17 million last year—with razor-thin spending at just $11 million. Big events like Tapas, Rum and Wine and Flame and Flavour are driving the surge, with single nights generating $3.5M–$4.3M for local businesses. Outgoing president Mitra Ramkumar credits the association’s growing influence, even extending Guyana Restaurant Week by a day. Looking ahead, THAG is pushing for continued SWIFT program support and positioning Guyana as a Caribbean tourism powerhouse—thanks to its unique English-speaking status in South America. Belize’s High Commissioner underscores regional collaboration as vital amid global challenges, calling for united efforts to protect cultures and fuel sustainable tourism growth.
