A FEMALE tourist of the world famous Kaieteur Falls has gone missing following a trip to the Region Eight, Potaro Siparuni location on Tuesday. 

No name has been released for the woman who was part of an Air Services Limited tour to the Kaieteur National Park (KNP).
In a statement, the Ministry of the Presidency said that the Department of Natural Resources has reported that a search operation is currently underway at the Park to locate the missing woman.
“It has been reported that the flight had a total of nine passengers and sometime during the tour, a female passenger was discovered to be missing,” the Ministry said.
“The National Parks Commission Rangers, who facilitated the tour, were joined by other staffers in executing an immediate search operation,” it added.
According to the Department, all relevant authorities, including the Guyana Police Force (GPF), the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) and the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) were notified.
An expanded search party was scheduled to resume operations yesterday morning, and it was hoped that with the GDF and other relevant agencies involved, the passenger will be found.
Tours to the KNP have since been suspended.
