Responsibility for Tourism
The Ministry of Business has been given the responsibility for the growth and development of the tourism sector in Guyana, effective from July 1, 2016. This new responsibility can be well consolidated with the mandate of fostering value added sectors. Tourism as an export industry has tremendous potential for Guyana. It provides employment, income and investment opportunities, generates foreign exchange earnings and tax revenue, and promotes and sustains the national culture, heritage and environment.
Vision
Increased living standards for all Guyanese in a diverse and green economy.
Increase Sustainable Private Sector Investment Through the Design and Implementation of a National Investment Strategy and Safeguarding Competitive Markets
