ONE of Guyana’s most regal sites is the green section of the National Park which, to my mind, could be transformed into one of the most brilliant and unique expo villages ever for the annual GuyExpo national event. Space allocation is more than enough and the surrounding sports grounds could be utilised for parking facilities.

Of course, a lot more funding might be required, but in my opinion, it will be well worth the investment, and I am almost certain that it will showcase the event with a much more improvised flare. So, I say to the planning committee of the event and exhibitors that it might be worth considering even for a one-time affair in 2013.

That having been said, I have to acknowledge the hard work of the volunteers and security personnel at the just concluded 2012 GuyExpo. The one disappointment was the location of the Tourism Village which, to my mind, should have been at the forefront.
It was also the very first time for me visiting during the opening night, and I have to admit that I was satisfied; as I was during other visits.

Because of space allocation and adhering to the policies of the dailies, I will not mention all the names I wanted to say that really impressed me, but I will say that I had a great time; and to all exhibitors, I have gotten great reviews from my overseas counterparts with my production images and job well done by all.
But I have to single out the two agencies that blew me away with their representation and they are The National Commission of Disability and the Guyana Prison Service. Bravo to you both.

Banks DIH: It was a knockout to witness that you incorporated the rum barrels in your concept display.

DDL: Your concept display of a bar and the liquor items displayed through built-in glass showcases were superb.
