THE Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) is excited to announce its sponsorship and endorsement of the first-ever Caribbean Content Creators and Influencers Summit, set to take place from October 3-5, 2024, at the Ramada Princess Hotel in Georgetown.
Organised by Anna Media and Entertainment Network, this groundbreaking event will unite content creators, influencers, industry experts, and policymakers from across the Caribbean to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and advance the region’s digital economy.
The summit’s primary goal is to harness the power of social media and digital content to boost tourism in Guyana. By aligning with this event, the GTA aims to leverage the influence of digital creators to enhance Guyana’s visibility as a prime tourist destination.
The three-day summit will feature an impressive lineup of keynote speakers, including prominent influencers and content creators who will share their experiences and insights. Notable speakers include Stacey DosSantos Rahaman, Co-founder of Visit Guyana; Daniel Loveless, Executive Producer of “What Yuh Know”; and Tenille Clarke, Managing Director and publicist of Chambers Media Solutions in Trinidad and Tobago, among others. In addition to the speeches, the event will offer interactive sessions, cultural showcases, and an influencer incubator, providing attendees with valuable networking opportunities and professional development.
The GTA anticipates that the summit will attract visitors from across the Caribbean and beyond, directly contributing to increased tourism revenue for Guyana. This influx of visitors is expected to boost local businesses, including hotels, restaurants, and transportation services, thereby stimulating economic growth in various sectors.
Furthermore, the summit’s emphasis on content creation and influencer marketing is poised to enhance Guyana’s brand visibility on both regional and international platforms. By positioning Guyana as a dynamic and desirable tourist destination, the event will play a crucial role in elevating the country’s profile globally.
In addition to promoting tourism, the summit will focus on developing local talent within the digital content space. By nurturing homegrown content creators and influencers, the event aims to strengthen Guyana’s digital economy, creating new opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship. This focus on talent development will help establish a unique digital content ecosystem in Guyana, further enhancing the country’s appeal as a vibrant and culturally rich destination.
