Guyana continues to distinguish itself as a leading destination in the Caribbean, recording the highest percentage increase in visitor arrivals for the period January to July 2025. According to the Guyana Tourism Industry, with an impressive 18 per cent growth compared to the same period in 2024, Guyana outperformed every other reporting destination in the region. The Caribbean Tourism Organisation’s monthly report also notes Guyana’s strong monthly gains: 22.8 per cent in January, 16.8 per cent in February, and 15.2 per cent in June, all well above regional averages.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, this record growth was consistent across all seven months. The United States (US) (100,331 visitors), the Caribbean (76,247), Canada (17,783), and Europe (14,079) were among the top source markets.
An earlier report from the Department of Public Information (DPI) stated that the surge was supported by enhanced air connectivity, targeted marketing in key regions, a strong return of diaspora travel, major cultural and sporting events, and new tourism products that continue to broaden Guyana’s appeal to both regional and international visitors.
This consistent upward trend reaffirms Guyana’s growing position as one of the Caribbean’s fastest-rising destinations.
