AMIDST a riot of spangles and colours, the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, launched its Mash Camp, yesterday, under the theme, ‘Flora, Fauna, Culture – Our Pride.” Presiding over the lively launch, Minister of Tourism, Manniram Prashad, explained that the annual Mashramani celebrations this year are geared towards attracting even more tourists.
The Minister explained that the Tourism Ministry has entered into the Medium Band category with 100 persons who will hopefully win the prize for its class.
He said that Mashramani is expected to be a huge success this year because of the amount of overseas visitors expected, as well as the local participants.
He noted that already most of the airlines are fully booked and his Ministry is in the process of trying to get some of them to put on extra flights to accommodate those persons who want to come and enjoy Mashramani.
Minister Prashad is encouraging all Guyanese to come out and celebrate the joyous occasion.
