Dear Editor,
I have read with great interest the Minister of Business, Dominic Gaskin’s presentation, on the fact that tourism cannot thrive in a discontented nation, which was recently published in various sections of the media.
This presentation was delivered at the Guyana Tourism Authority Awards Ceremony.
I must compliment the Minister for his insight and wisdom. It is impressive to me that he has hit the nail on its head, and as a result, I wish to suggest to the Government of Guyana and all non-governmental organisations to continue being dedicated towards self-development and the development of this nation.
I am very concerned about the growth and development of our country and our people. We are an extremely fortunate society as most of our people are disciplined, and have ambition. Most of our people can read and write, and all of us can speak English language.
Because of these positive traits, countries apart of the Caribbean and other nations such as the United States of America, Canada and others, welcome our citizens to work and live in their country easily.
However, what we need is to create an atmosphere where our people can be comfortable, be able to see their future selves, develop patriotism and the desire to remain here.
Indeed our people, students and graduates are our most valuable assets. All of this is coupled with the fact that we have enormous natural resources to attract tourists, such as sunshine, fresh and salt water rivers, to attract ardent fishermen from around the world.
We have the possibility to provide hinterland trekking, where persons can try climbing our very own Mount Roraima; the great Kaieteur Falls and many other waterfalls, located in the interior regions of this country. Millions around the world are enamored with the largest pharmacy in the world, our amazing Amazon jungles.
I was so moved by the points made by the Minister and his insight into this reality. I can see from his heart that he is a man who truly wishes for the greater development of Guyana, to bring prosperity to all of our people.
We have to develop Guyana to such a level that our youth, graduates, students and other citizens that have left to seek better elsewhere, return to a place they can be proud to call home and contribute to its growth.
Sincerely,
Roshan Khan
