HIGHLIGHTING the successful collaboration between the public and private sectors in enhancing regional tourism and promoting the rich, shared heritage of Guyana and Suriname, Evergreen Adventures has announced the launch of its Dutch Heritage Tour, which will be supported by the Guyana Office for Investment (Go-Invest)

Evergreen Adventures said it is proud to announce the launch of its tour, an immersive eight-day, seven-night journey exploring the deep-rooted Dutch colonial history of Guyana and Suriname.

The Dutch Heritage Tour is designed to not only educate participants about the Dutch colonial influence but also to showcase the unique cultural tapestry, traditions, and natural beauty that make Guyana and Suriname extraordinary destinations.

Evergreen has said that the Guyana Office for Investment had initiated the birth of this concept under its programme, “twinning of products;” where Guyanese businesses form compatible partnerships with other countries and companies for mutually beneficial interests.

Outside of tourism, additional work is underway with Suriname to twin products in the agro-processing and manufacturing sectors.

This exclusive tour is expected to provide participants with a unique opportunity to discover the architectural wonders, historical landmarks and cultural traditions that reflect the lasting influence of Dutch heritage in the region.

The development of this tour was strongly supported by the Guyana Office for Investment, whose dedication to tourism growth has played a key role in integrating the tourism experiences of Guyana and Suriname.

According to the tour company, this partnership has resulted in a well-rounded itinerary that showcases the shared history of these neighbouring nations.

The tour highlights include: Fort Zeelandia (Paramaribo, Suriname), where tourists can explore the historic Dutch fort, a symbol of Suriname’s colonial past; Jodensavanne, a visit to the remnants of one of the oldest Jewish settlements in the Americas, reflecting the region’s diverse cultural heritage; Paramaribo City Tour where persons can discover the UNESCO World Heritage sites within Suriname’s capital which is known for its well-preserved Dutch colonial architecture; Fort Zeelandia (Essequibo River, Guyana) where persons can feel free to experience the historical significance of this 17th-century Dutch fort, located along the scenic Essequibo River; the well-known Kaieteur Falls where there can witness one of the world’s most powerful waterfalls, a breathtaking natural wonder within Guyana’s pristine landscapes; Georgetown City Tour during which person can explore Guyana’s vibrant capital, renowned for its colonial-era buildings, bustling markets, and rich cultural heritage.

The General Manager of Evergreen Adventures Andrea L. de Caires said: “The Dutch Heritage Tour is more than just a historical journey—it’s an exploration of the cultural fusion that defines Guyana and Suriname,” she added. “We extend our gratitude to the Guyana Office for Investment for their unwavering support and vision in making this project a reality.”
