12 tourism products vying for GTA’s development grant

He explained that each applicant or each product they have a financial plan with accompanying invoices which will guide the GTA for the disbursement.

Additionally, the GTA on Tuesday launched its Guyana Tourism Product playbook which serves as a guide for the development of new products and improving existing ones.  Stakeholders will work with tour operators, using the playbook to provide training and guidance for developing products and to guide tour operators with training that should lead to the improvement of existing products.

“This is very timely as this playbook will go hand in hand and play a very complimentary role with the grant for operators that are wishing to put together those programmes,” Baksh added.

He said that financial support and technical support are available for tour operators.
