With over 125,000 arriving passengers processed in the past month, Guyana is on track to welcome its one millionth arriving passenger by November, according to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.
In a statement, it was noted that between the beginning of January and the end of September, a total of 801,000 arrivals were processed. Chief Executive Officer of the Cheddi Jagan Airport, Ramesh Ghir said events like the Caribbean Premier League Cricket competition, have contributed significantly to the surge in arrivals.
Mr. Ghir said the growth in passenger traffic has also been fueled by increased airline connectivity with a number of the airlines offering additional destinations and more seats.
The Government has been pushing “Destination Guyana” across the Caribbean and the rest of the world as an investment and tourism hotspot. With the country experiencing significant economic growth and development in a number of sectors, more travelers have been focusing on Guyana. Through the Ministry of Tourism and the Guyana Tourism Authority, “Destination Guyana” has also been present at international tourism events and shows as part of the promotion efforts.
