$1B wind-powered hotel opens doors in Corriverton

Apr 10, 2017 News, http://www.kaieteurnewsonline....oors-in-corriverton/

By Malisa Playter Harry

The Classic International Hotel and Suites, an HNS Property Development Investment, opened with much class and elegance at Number 79 Village, Corriverton, Berbice on Thursday.  The hotel is said to be one of Berbice’s biggest investments which will see the first ever Wind Turbine Electrical System being put to use with an expected 250KVA of energy coming out from it.
This major investment comes at a time when the government is seeking to have a greener economy with more emphasis being placed on alternative energy sources. The billion-dollar five-star investment is said to be a major boost to Berbice and the country.
Proprietor of the Hotel and Suites, Haresh Narine Sugrim, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Guyana Tractor and Equipment Company (GUYTRAC) kept walking on the path of success and did not stop, but charged on to make major investments.
The Crabwood Creek-born businessman and former student of the Skeldon Line Path Secondary School said that because of his dedication and love for his place of birth he felt the need to invest. β€œI born and grow here; I live in Crabwood Creek and with this new government in power I was assured that this country will boom and I believe in business in Corriverton.”
The business tycoon said that it was just another normal day while with some of his colleagues in business that the idea crystallized.
β€œWithout any plan, without any drawing I did it myself. I bought the property and from the following month I started construction. I dreamt the name one night and it was left at that,” Sugrim said. According to the businessman, the aesthetics and design of the interior and exterior of the four-storey building was also a choice of his. It is his belief that with such an investment, the Tourism industry will see a major boost with an expected influx of Surinamese to the Region.
β€œYou will have more business now. Surinamese will have a comfortable hotel and Guyanese coming from Georgetown have somewhere close to Suriname to come on the weekends and so, they have a hotel”.
Sugrim said that it is his aim to have the hotel fully powered by the Wind Turbine, but posited that there has been some difficulty in gaining the approval from the Government  to have it up and running.
β€œIt is already bought. The government wants us to go green and clean; we are the first persons to get a wind turbine. Over a year now we are not getting any response or approval to have it running.” He stated that with this alternative energy in effect the cost for services at the hotel will automatically drop. Residents in the area are also expected to benefit from the initiative.
β€œWe plan to expand once the wind turbine gets approved. We can give to poor people around, free electricity. The Technical Institute will also benefit with it being the first in Guyana”.
Minister of Business, Dominic Gaskin during his address at the opening stated that if the country is expected to have visitors then suitable accommodation must be provided. β€œI am pleased to see that Corriverton now has a brand new hotel.”
He stated that with the increase in visitors to Guyana from other countries, 2016 was deemed as a β€œrecord year” for Tourism in the country.

β€œWhen we speak of the potential for tourism we are speaking of something very real that is happening in our country but there will be challenges.”
Guyana and its citizens have not yet grasped the reality that it is a major tourism hub. β€œWe have not integrated ourselves into the international tourism industry in a way that it would sit on the map as a serious Tourism destination.
β€œWe have not raised the level of awareness within Guyana of the benefits of Tourism and its potential for job creation and revenue generation and foreign earnings, we only have to look around the Caribbean to the jobs that the thriving tourism industry can create”.
He urged that in keeping with a successful tourism industry, the environment has to be well kept. β€œWe also have to become more service-oriented, our national visitors expect better service, if people are spending hard earned money to come and visit us then we need to treat them well and give them the service they deserve.”

Newly elected Mayor of Corriverton, Mr. Jaichand, told the gathering that with the hotel in operation β€œthe nagging problem of being jobless” will be reduced.
β€œIts impact on the prosperity of the town cannot be underestimated as it shines like a beacon of hope for people worried about the prevailing economic uncertainties. Corriverton was always hungry for a super structure like the Classic.
β€œEvery city and country has a mark and identity, just as the Classic will be the township’s identity”. He congratulated Mr. Sugrim on his investment and urged all stakeholders to emulate the businessman, β€œleave your footprint on the soil of this remarkable town”.
The Classic International Hotel & Suites has 28 rooms with double and single beds. It also has four presidential suites. There is a conference hall, three bars, fully computerized with wifi, an elevator, toilet and bath, a restaurant and an outdoor swimming pool.
The Proprietor , Mr. Sugrim, stated that plans are also afoot to have an extension of 32 more rooms and an addition of two Yacht’s that will provide Yacht services for persons looking to tour the Corentyne waters.
There is also a spacious parking lot that sits a stone’s throw away from the Corentyne River. The staff of 44 was provided with a month of training to better equip them in the area of customer service, but the businessman will be looking to keep his hotel at international standards with the addition of two managers expected from abroad. Construction of the facility began in 2014.
The hotel has already been booked for two days by the Civil Aviation Authority.

DG does this qualify as a PNC new development or was it concieved in PPP time?

I notice the PNC boys are stonewalling this investor with the permit to run the wind turbine, no wonder they are fleeing in droves. This man from crabwood creek will get the crabs soon if he can`t turn a profit on this hotel.

Hemchand Jaichand is my second cousin who also owns a hotel at Line Path.

No I do not know the guy. I congratulated him for what he has accomplished but it seems everytime a Guyanese person does something for themselves you people go stupid. Why bother posting on this site if you people don't care for their well being? Not only this guy but anyone who accomplishes something seems to be ridiculed by these low lives.

It seems one has to swim in shit, only then they are accepted. Dam!

It is rumoured that he had close ties to the ppp and has now switched. Yes, his son's house was the object of an invasion with lots of shooting. 

He started out in smuggling then moved on to illegal drugs. Lately, he has been trying to establish other businesses to create a facade that he is legitimate.  I saw him at a wedding hugging Harmon.

Looks like someone spiked your daily fix with hallucinogens?

Learn to read, it is not about the Indian man but the incompetent PNC. These jackasses that you support screaming about going green, now that Sugrim went green with a wind turbine, these jackasses dragging their feet on approving his permit to run the turbine.

For a man who always asks for evidence whenever someone makes a statement, you're here spreading rumors. You should be ashamed of yourself.

After seeing what this fellow is about the government shouldn't only hold back on his request they should shut him down, confiscate the building and use it for better means. They can then start up the turbines.

Now you ketch sense after waking up from your lsd binge. The only development under the PNC if from questionable characters.

I hope East Indians support this brother and don't koolie crab dog him.

Hmmmm! You are not racist eh?

This post is a shining example of why there could never be peace and racial harmony in Guyana. Ignorant people are the cause..very ignorant people.

Take note, I commended this guy after reading the article I never cared what race he belonged. It was then brought to my attention the type of person he is and I showed my disgust..again nothing to do with race but what he stood for.

The man is shown to be a con but  as we notice in Jagdeo's PPP supporters it matters not, as long as you are of East Indian decent, the sleazy ass coolie type don't care, they just tuck their heads into the sand with batties in the air..lovely.

When blacks call on blacks to support businesses in their community no one charges racism. Why should it be different when Indians ask for support from their community? Do you see a double standard here?

Dude stop with the bullshit. It seems everyone here knows the guy is scum.  I say no more because it seems I am in the company of fkin morons.
