Thats all I need to see to know that it is nonsense.  Increased tourist arrivals are Guyanese returning home. In order to disguise the fact that fewer people came in from the USA through CJIA they have suddenly decied to include border crossing from Suriname and Brazil.  The issue is that the data for 2012 dont include those numbers, and in any case most of these arent tourists, even overseas Guyanese.  They are the normal flow of people who live near a border.

The PPP can claim credit for rice.  They cant for anything else and the less said about their mega projects the better.  Riddled with corruption and likely to land Guyana in major debt and possibly offering limited future benefits.

One can only wonder why a "specialty" hospital will be located in the Corentyne and not in regions 3 or 4, where most of the population lives.  And as usual New Amsterdam is ignored even though it is well located to assist BOTH regions 5 and 6, including those living up the Berbice River.
