The Guyana Tourism Authority (the official Tourism Board of “Destination Guyana”) has formed an official partnership with Emerging Destinations and Green Team Global to represent Guyana in the United States (US) and Canadian travel markets. CornerSun Destination Marketing and Small Planet Consulting join Emerging Destinations and Green Team Global in introducing and promoting Guyana to the North American travel industry to drive awareness and travel to Guyana.

Guyana is positioning itself as the next must-see destination for travelers. With daily non-stop flights already available from New York,Miami and Toronto, and it being the only English speaking country in South America, tourists can experience vibrant indigenous culture, rich history and an incredibly hospitable and friendly people in the language both parties know best. Travelers will find a combination of natural beauty -Kaieteur Falls pictured above, pristine primary rainforest, world-class waterfalls and amazing wildlife there.

We are confident in our newly formed key strategic alliances with Emerging Destinations and Green Team Global supported by CornerSun Destination Marketing and Small Planet Consulting to effectively bring this extraordinary destination to the North American travel industry. North America is one of our strongest markets with a travel culture yearning for authentic culture and nature/adventure experiences. Guyana is in a prime position to provide that.”
