THE Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA), in partnership with Breeze Travel Solutions (BTS), has officially launched the country’s first-ever Destination Booking Engine, ushering in a new digital era for the local tourism industry.
Now live at booking.guyanatourism.com, the platform offers a dynamic, user-friendly experience that allows travellers, travel agents, and tour operators worldwide to discover, build, and book custom travel packages across Guyana, from eco-lodge stays and jungle tours to cultural excursions and domestic flights, all in one place.
Described as a transformational tool by the GTA, the booking engine supports only licensed and certified tourism providers, in keeping with the Government of Guyana’s commitment to quality assurance and visitor safety.
This includes certified tour companies, resorts, hotels, ecolodges, and even domestic airlines, enabling end-to-end trip planning for both international and local visitors.
Some key features of the platform include: Dynamic Booking Tools for creating custom packages with accommodations, tours, flights, and transfers; An Itinerary Builder for designing themed, multi-stop journeys; and Secure Payment and Reporting Features, including invoicing, credit card processing, and performance tracking for partners
According to the GTA, the launch of the booking engine comes at a pivotal moment, as Guyana’s tourism sector continues to grow, contributing over US$396.5 million to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2024.
The digital platform is expected to significantly enhance this figure by expanding global access to authentic and licensed local tourism experiences.
GTA Director, Kamrul Baksh, hailed the launch as a “major leap forward” in the modernisation of the tourism sector.
“With this booking engine, we are putting Guyana’s unique experiences within easy reach of both global travellers and the travel trade industry,” Baksh said.
Echoing this sentiment, Breeze Travel Solutions CEO, Casey Davey, remarked:
“Our vision is to place Guyana firmly on the digital travel map. This platform not only empowers local businesses but also makes it easier than ever for travellers to explore the breathtaking beauty and cultural depth of Guyana.”
