Tourism. You need to travel a bit to grasp what tourism is all about. Not the way that Fat boy dramatizes it. It is a joke-and yuh guys makes the country a laughing stock. 

The tourism infrastructure in Guyana is indeed bad. The level of service is also poor. However, regardless of how one classifies the visitors to Gy; the numbers are up so there must be something(s) attracting them and that is a good thing.

the reason guyanese is visiting guyana more often is the fact that most of them is established overseas and they have more time to travel so returning for a quick visit is nothing out of the norm 

Plenty Italians from around the WORLD visit Italy.

when you returning to the mad house

What are we gonna see next PPP wants to see Government officials stop taking bribes and stealing tax payers money?

hahhahahhhahaha got to love these comedians.

Can you furnish data establishing that visits by overseas Guyanese are increasing.  The PPP furnished data based on GEO only for 2012.  They then added Lethem and Moleson Creek (Corentyne) for 2013 and used this addition to pretend that the numbers had increased.

The Caribbean Tourism Organization revealed that the 2013 and 2012 data weren't comparable.  The PPP got angry and refused to disclose further data, but GEO revealed that arrivals DECLINED in 2013.  They have said nothing for 2014.

So enlighten us please!

Now what attracts Guyanese to visit Guyana?  Most will think that it is their relatives and friends.  How many are involved in all the bird watching that the PPP babbles about?

not sure why you are getting confrontational or it at least appears so. I am going from what I read in the online Chronicle a few days ago in which they stated that the numbers as of Sept 2014 was 13% more than for the previous yr ending sept 2013.

My interest is not parties, race, politics or confrontation; it is country and appears if something comes across as good for Gy, the reflex action of many on here is to oppose. By the same token many on here post without providing "facts", so not sure why you are asking me to furnish facts when all I can do right now state what I read which is what all others do in here.

On a personal level I travel at least once a yr to Gy for a week and spend at least 3000.USD on each vist that is money going into the economy does that not help? I also travel all over the world for work and pleasure so I speak from personal experience about many things.

So what are the details behind these "significant funds"? Who has had their fingers in the cookie jar in this case?

Badal jainin up wid de PPP. He want fuh gee dem wan kut so he can mek sum prafit. Dem deh in dis all togedah.

Lets see if the PPP will sell him for 8 Million. hahahahah Badal is a very savvy businessman the people who sold the pegasus to him knew that. Only the fat crook and the bugger king don't know dat.

First, AFC's sympathizer Ravi Dev bolted from the AFC sinking ship and now Badal teams up with the PPP.

AFC top brass supporter Gerhard is now with the PNC. The list of AFC defectors go on and on.............

Everyone is fleeing from the dead AFC since they are negotiating with the PNC to merge the dead AFC with the PNC.

AFC is a sinking ship:

And you think that the Chronicle is a credible news source?  If you think so I will confront you as you peddle their lies.

I told you where the "13%" increase came from. In 2012 the numbers were based only on arrivals into Timehri.  In 2013 they added border crossings into Moleson Creek and Lethem.  They did not adjust their 2012 numbers to also include that data.  They then LIE and claim that tourist arrivals have increased because of increased PPP tourist promotion.

How many people living in Nickerie or on Bom Fin care about Guyana's tourist attractions. They are crossing the river to take of business just as people who live on the WBD cross over to G/town.  The Caribbean Tourism Org exposed them, and since then they have REFUSED to release any data.

I do not see how some one crossing the Takutu river to say hi to a friend in Lethem can be equated with a British visitor in Guyana to watch birds, or a Guyanese living in NYC, visiting Guyana and likely to be there for at least one week.  The PPP will have you think that there is no difference.

When Caribbean countries cite tourism arrivals statistics they separate out cruise passengers from stay over visitors.  Guyana should similarly separate border crossers, many who will be in Guyana no longer than a cruise passenger will be in St Maarten, from valid bona fide visitors.  But they do not because they want to hide the fact that arrivals in Guyana DECLINED in 2013, and bwe have no idea what the situation in 2014 was, because this data has been hidden.  The PPP hides data that doesn't reflect well on it.

Badal wants to benefit from the incentives offered to Marriott, knowing full well that Pegasus will suffer once that hotel opens.

The PPP is looking for an investor to rescue them from the embarrassment of not being able to find one.

We all know this so what is the screaming about from the PPP FreeDUMB House?

Caribny whappen wid de secret investor?

Hey hey dem PPP tief man find de secret investa.
