Georgetown : The Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) aanounced that Guyana’s largest trade fair GuyExpo 2013 is slated for October 3-6. According to GTA’s Director Indranauth Harilalsingh, booths are going at a rapid pace where the international pavilion is almost sold out.
He said that there will be a lot of new events and other changes at this year’s event. This includes the pre-selling of tickets so as to better manage the crowd and avoid congestion at the Sophia Exhibition Site.
Over the years, Guyexpo has grown significantly in the number of patrons, foreign participation, and exhibitors. At present, the Tourism Ministry through the GTA, is working to bring a lot of overseas investors and buyers for the event.
Harilalsingh said “we want to create the linkages between overseas buyers and the manufacturers and producers here, so that Guyexpo can become a marketplace for negotiations, networking and sales as well.”
The GTA wants to ensure that local businesses find markets for their products and services at Guyexpo as without markets, these businesses will not be able to expand, and create more jobs and reinvest.
Guyexpo, a trade fair and exhibition which showcases locally produced goods and services became an annual event in 2004 having been launched in 1995. It is now the longest sustained exhibition in the Caribbean.
Guyexpo 2013 will hosted under the theme “Advancing Productivity through Innovation Organisation,” showcasing the best Guyana has to offer in the areas of business and commerce.
