NOT sure about Guyana’s current progress within the tourism sector, but I sincerely wish the sector well.I just read Guyana Times’ report “Glitzy sixth wedding Expo launched”, dated March 30, 2014, and there was a particular statement attributed to Capt. Jerry Gouveia (CEO, Roraima Group of Companies) and I quote: “Gouveia had previously said the idea of a local wedding expo was taken from similar expos in Jamaica and other Caribbean Islands.”

Before I proceed, I am also not sure of the accuracy of this report by the journalist and newspaper, but to the best of my knowledge, there was once a company called “The Embassy Club”, which closed its doors for business in 1997 (I think) and the Company Directors were Mr. Nafis Khan and his wife Mrs. Sarita Khan, who had relocated from Jamaica and started the company. I vividly remember that it was this company which is the “Pioneer” of Wedding Expos in Guyana. I think the Wedding Expos that were hosted on the premises of the Russian Embassy might have been two annual shows.

I just thought I would interject with my 2 cents.
