The event will be held under the theme “Strengthening the Traditional, Embracing the New”. Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) Director Indranauth Haralsingh at a press briefing pointed out that infrastructural work on the exhibition centre has already commenced and includes improvement to the drainage system and enhancement of the compound.
Booths expected at the event number more than 400 at the four-day affair.
Haralsingh highlighted that the booth spaces are being snapped up very fast, and as a result, this year’s GuyExpo is expected to be the largest ever. He noted that each year the phrase “bigger and better” is being used to describe the expo, however, he is optimistic that this year will indeed surpass the others.
GuyExpo is an exhibition which allows all businesses to showcase their products and services, creativity/ innovativeness, interact with customers and buyers, share information, obtain valuable feedback on new products/ services, access new markets and create new linkages.
Guyana has a lot of potential, and as such, this year’s focus is being placed on bringing international buyers to the expo. Barbados, St Lucia, Canada, the United States of America (USA), Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname and French Guiana have confirmed their participation in the event.
The expo will include a children’s area, a two-hour buyers’ time, a seminar on the Jagdeo Initiative, a booth highlighting Guyana’s image in 2015, food courts, controlled music levels and efficient parking for 1000 vehicles.
The event’s opening ceremony is scheduled for September 27 at 18: 00h. Meanwhile, the gates will be opened to the public from 15: 00h- 23: 00h on September 28, and at 13: 00h- 23: 00 h on September 29 and 30.
