West Indies and Guyana’s left-arm spinner, Gudakesh Motie, has been appointed the official Tourism Brand Ambassador by the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA), the organization announced on Tuesday.

The move sees the 29-year-old, known for his subtle bowling variations and strong Guyanese roots, stepping into a new role to promote his home nation as a leading sustainable tourism destination.
The partnership aims to leverage Motie’s growing international profile and local identity to showcase Guyana’s diverse and eco-friendly travel experiences to a global audience.

Kamrul Baksh, Director of the Guyana Tourism Authority, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration. “Gudakesh Motie embodies the spirit of Guyana: proud, determined, and deeply rooted in community and culture,” Baksh stated.

“We are privileged to partner with him to highlight Guyana’s authentic tourism offerings. His rising stature in cricket and his profound Guyanese identity make him a powerful advocate for sustainable tourism and national pride.”

In his new capacity, Motie will participate in various destination marketing campaigns, including creating digital content, engaging in community outreach, interacting with fans, and making media appearances.

A significant aspect of his ambassadorship will involve embarking on guided tours to immerse himself in Guyana’s natural beauty, cultural sites, and adventure tourism options.

These personal experiences will then be shared with regional and international audiences to inspire travel to the South American country.

This strategic initiative by the GTA is part of a broader effort to integrate sports, culture, and tourism.
The authority intends to utilize high-profile personalities like Motie to effectively tell Guyana’s story as a conscientious, dynamic, and welcoming travel destination, further solidifying its position on the global stage.
