The Sixth Annual Wedding Expo was launched on Friday at Roraima Duke Lodge, Duke Street, Georgetown, with about 10 couples, who want to be officially paired, gracing the occasion.
Roraima Group of Companies Chairman, Captain Gerry Gouviea said the annual exposition continues to raise the platform for small business to showcase their work and build partnerships.
Gouviea said the Guyana tourism sector is on the rise, and called on all to get involved.
Meanwhile, acting Tourism Minister Irfaan Ali, who also addressed the launch, said plans are in train to make Guyana a wedding destination, with more partnerships from both the public and private sectors.
Ali added that with the establishment of a “wedding direct webpage” showcasing Guyana, the country will quickly gain recognition in this regard.
The minister applauded the sponsors whom over the years have made the Wedding Expo a memorable one for the participants.
This year’s Wedding Expo will be held from March 28-30. The sponsors include Roraima Inn, Arrowpoint Resort, Kings Jewellery World, Fly Jamaica, Hand-in-Hand Insurance Company, K&Y Party Rental, Guyana Times and Karen’s Cake, Bromeliad Make Up, among others.
On a different note, Minister Ali pointed out too that more persons have been asking for a second dinner at Fort Island, after the great experience from the first ever “Romancing the Fort” in December 2013.
