Guyana Tourism is Coming to Canada

Guyana is coming to Canada, and they want your business.

The Guyana Tourism Authority, the official tourism board of Destination Guyana, has formed an official partnership with Emerging Destinations and Green Team Global to represent Guyana in Canada and the United States. CornerSun Destination Marketing in New York City and Small Planet Consulting join Emerging Destinations and Green Team Global in introducing and promoting Guyana to the North American travel industry to drive awareness and travel to Guyana.

Canadian and U.S. travel media and operators can anticipate a roadshow visiting various locations later this year to spread excitement about travel to Guyana, officials said.

Guyana is positioned as the next must-see destination for travelers. With daily non-stop flights already available from New York and Miami, and it being the only English speaking country in South America, tourists can experience vibrant indigenous culture, rich history and an incredibly hospitable and friendly people in the language both parties know best.

An irresistible combination of natural beauty, pristine primary rainforest, world-class waterfalls and amazing wildlife will satisfy any social media feed. Visiting vibrant indigenous communities and undeveloped beaches; attending festivals, rodeos, regattas and carnivals; and participating in 4x4 safaris and bird watching are just a handful of the possibilities to provide the hungry North American traveler with no shortage of stimuli.

"Entering the US and Canadian markets are a critical component of Guyana's overall tourism strategy," said Brian Mullis, Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority. "We are confident in our newly-formed key strategic alliances with Emerging Destinations and Green Team Global supported by CornerSun Destination Marketing and Small Planet Consulting to effectively bring this extraordinary destination to the North American travel industry. North America is one of our strongest markets with a travel culture yearning for authentic culture and nature/adventure experiences. Guyana is in a prime position to provide that."

Largely unknown in the US and Canada, Guyana is a small South American country that represents six ethnicities and a rich Amerindian culture. Bordered by Brazil, Suriname and Venezuela, Guyana is part of the revered Guiana Shield, one of the world's most biodiverse regions. Guyana possesses Atlantic beaches to the north, staggering mountain ranges to the west, never-ending savannahs to the south and a remarkable 18 per cent of the world's tropical forests to boot.
