The Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA)'s Product Development Team recently led a Tourism Operations & Management Training in Warapoka Village, Region 1, from June 3–7, 2025. The training totalled sixteen (16) participants.

The primary beneficiaries included members of the Village Council, Tourism Committee, and other local stakeholders involved in tourism-related services, such as accommodation providers, caterers, tour guides, and activity hosts.

This training forms part of the GTA’s ongoing efforts to strengthen tourism delivery at the community level. It is designed to equip participants with practical knowledge and skills essential to managing various aspects of tourism operations, including the booking process, guest preparation, hosting, and post-visit follow-up. These competencies are key to improving service quality, enhancing visitor satisfaction, and supporting the long-term sustainability of the local tourism sector.

Warapoka, a Warrau community located along the Waini River, is one of several Indigenous villages engaged by the GTA in the Moruca sub-district. Known for its harpy eagle sightings and unique cultural experiences, such as traditional Warrau shrimp-catching and sampling of the ‘alaka’ snail, Warapoka is poised to offer authentic ecotourism adventures.

The Government of Guyana, through the GTA, remains committed to supporting tourism development across Region 1 as part of its broader mandate to advance the Region 1 Tourism Circuit.

Today, the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) hosted a pre-Father’s Day celebration at the office to honour the fathers and father figures across the team.

As part of the celebration, fathers were presented with tokens of appreciation. It was a small but meaningful gesture to acknowledge their everyday dedication and the steady support they provide. While a few fathers were away, they were wholeheartedly recognised as well.
