The project was done in collaboration with the Office of the First Lady, the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) and Impressions.
Minister of Tourism, Hon. Oneidge Walrond, Chief Executive Officer of the Guyana Office for Investment (GO-INVEST) Dr. Peter Ramsaroop and United States Ambassador Sarah Ann Lynch were also at the location.
H.E. First Lady Mrs. Arya Ali said
After months of hard work which involved meticulous planning and consistent stakeholder engagement, we officially launched the ‘Welcome to Guyana’ sign at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA) today – a project estimated to be in excess of $25M.
This is the first of a number of scenic conservation and revitalization initiatives which falls under my National Beautification Project and I am immensely proud of the efforts of all those who would have played a meaningful role in bringing this project to life.
The development of this area will, without a doubt, add to the value of Guyana’s rich tourism experience, and support efforts to market Brand Guyana. A strong country brand encourages tourists, trading partners and investors all at once, and that is what Guyana needs.
In an emerging economy like ours, marketing is functionally important. So, every tourist, expat, or even local who snaps a photograph at this multi-million dollar sign and uploads it to their social media profile is helping us to improve and increase Guyana’s brand awareness.
At the same time, an enhanced public space gives locals in the area something to feel proud of and celebrate. And ultimately, for us, it is about providing a better and happier life for our people.
Thanks to the sponsors CJIA, Impressions, and TotalTech for making this possible.
Do enjoy this space when you are in Timehri.
