Dear Editor,
I am confident that with the highly anticipated ExxonMobil GSL cricket season upon us once again, Guyana is poised to experience a significant surge in sports tourism and business travel.
This season presents yet another opportunity for our nation to showcase its capacity as a premier service destination. Hotels, restaurants, and transportation providers must rise to the occasion and deliver world-class service to meet the growing expectations of both regional and international visitors.
Companies such as ExxonMobil and other major players have set a standard to follow, bringing investment, tourism, and cultural vibrancy that continue to elevate Guyana’s profile. Their presence and influence have helped position Guyana at the top within CARICOM in terms of economic opportunity and international appeal.
We must also recognize that all eyes are on us this cricket season. As such, we need to perfect what we can offer the rest of the world — from customer service to infrastructure, cultural experiences, and hospitality. Every impression counts, and consistency in excellence will determine how far our tourism reputation can go.
Moreover, the oil and gas sector, alongside our blossoming gastronomy and tourism industries, continues to play a vital role in placing Guyana firmly on the global travel radar. With the right coordination and commitment to excellence, this season could further solidify our reputation as a must-visit destination in the Caribbean and South America.
Sincerely,
Blane Bunbury
