KNOWN for his impressive cricket skills and grounded connection to his roots, West Indies star, Gudakesh Motie will lend his voice and influence to promote Guyana as a leading sustainable tourism destination at home and abroad, the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) has said.

“Gudakesh Motie represents the spirit of Guyana: proud, determined, and grounded in community and culture,” Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority, Kamrul Baksh said.

He added: “We are honoured to partner with him to showcase Guyana’s diverse and authentic tourism experiences. His growing profile in cricket and his strong Guyanese identity make him a powerful advocate for sustainable tourism and national pride.”

As Tourism Brand Ambassador, Motie will take part in a range of destination marketing campaigns, including digital content features, community outreach, fan engagement, and media appearances.
He will also embark on a series of guided tours to immerse himself in Guyana’s natural, cultural, and adventure tourism experiences and share those experiences with regional and international audiences, the GTA said.

The partnership is part of the authority’s broader initiative to align sports, culture, and tourism and to leverage high-profile personalities to help tell the story of Guyana as an eco-conscious, vibrant, and welcoming travel destination.
