The event was organised by the Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG), in collaboration with the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) and entailed the launching of the Magazine and announcement of THAG Essay Competition winners.

Held under the theme “Clean it and Mean it”, the competition was divided into two categories to include both primary and secondary school students. The theme focused on the importance of a clean and healthy environment, which once achieved must be maintained.

Students were asked to share their contributions to keeping the environment clean and elaborate on its positive impact on tourism. This is the third annual THAG Essay Competition.

Publisher of Explore Guyana, Lokesh Singh, and President of THAG, Andrea de Caires, also delivered brief remarks.

The Magazine is the 20th edition and is regarded as the Official Tourist Guide of Guyana 2017.
