The Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) has unveiled its newly-redesigned ATM room at the Giftland Mall at Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown.
This initiative, which features Guyana’s rich biodiversity heritage, is a partnership with the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) that underscores the banking institution’s commitment to celebrating and promoting the unique beauty and diversity of the country.
At the unveiling ceremony on Friday, GBTI Strategy and Channels Manager Christina De Agrella declared that this bank believes in the importance of community and cultural preservation.
“This ATM Enhancement Project is a testament to our dedication to not only providing excellent banking services, but also contributing positively to the social and cultural fabric of Guyana,” she said.
She added that the project is a reflection of the bank’s commitment to the community, and aligns with its tagline, “We See Guyana Through Your Eyes.”
Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority, Kamrul Baksh, has complimented the GBTI for the initiative and described it as one that adds significant value to the promotion of Destination Guyana.
“We’re happy to partner with GBTI in providing the images, which will be credited to the photographers. It will give visitors to GBTI’s ATMs across the country a glimpse into our tourism product: showcasing its natural beauty, wildlife, culture, and wonderful landscapes. This initiative will appeal to those travelling and looking to book tours,” he has predicted.
Further, he noted that the Tourism Ministry and the GTA are very happy to be part of the initiative, and hope it would be a catalyst for other corporate entities to come on board in support of the development and promotion of tourism in Guyana.
The ATM rooms will depict stunning visuals that capture the essence of Guyana. Customers will be greeted by images of Guyana’s landmarks, flora and fauna, and its rich cultural traditions. The main aim is to create a more engaging and enjoyable environment for customers.
By celebrating Guyana’s heritage through the redesign of the ATM rooms, GBTI and the GTA reaffirm their dedication to fostering a sense of national pride and community spirit.
