There has never been a more exciting time to explore Destination Guyana ! Our country has proven itself as a must-visit destination for travellers seeking authentic adventures , and the numbers prove it — visitor arrivals are on the rise , and for good reason . This is the result of a concerted effort to diversify our tourism offerings , showcasing the very best of Guyana ’ s pristine rainforests , cultural richness , and rugged , off-the-beatenpath experiences such as trekking through the Kanuku Mountains or exploring the remote Amerindian villages .
From the moment you set foot here , you ’ ll understand why Guyana is often described as one of Earth ’ s last untouched frontiers . Our awe-inspiring attractions , like the iconic Kaieteur and the vast Rupununi savannahs , are just the beginning . Guyana promises an experience like no other . These experiences , of course , can be had through our officially licensed tourism businesses .
At the Guyana Tourism Authority , we believe that promoting these experiences requires strong partnerships . That ’ s why collaborations like the one we have with Tourism Guyana are so important . Through this publication , the Tourism Guyana Magazine , and other joint marketing initiatives , we ’ re able to reach more people and inspire them to choose Guyana as their next travel destination .
As we continue to push the boundaries of what tourism in Guyana can offer , we remain committed to sustainable growth that benefits both visitors and local communities . Whether you ’ re an adventurer , a nature lover , or someone simply seeking a fresh cultural experience ,
Destination Guyana has something special waiting for you .
So , on behalf of the Guyana Tourism Authority , I extend a warm invitation to you . Come and discover the magic of Guyana .
