Georgetown: The Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce and the Guyana Tourism Authority has to disassociate itself from the TAGG TV and its producer, Mr. Chris Bassoo.
Mr. Bassoo arrived in Guyana last year and proposed that TAGG TV produce a 50-episode show which would present Guyana as a tourism destination worldwide, and which would have showcased various businesses for a sponsorship fee.
Over the last few weeks, the Tourism Ministry and the Guyana Tourism Authority have received numerous complaints from Guyanese businesses that would have paid their fees and have yet to see a production from TAGG TV.
While the Ministry initially endorsed this initiative, based on the premise that it formed part of an aggressive tourism plan seeking to put Guyana ahead of the Caribbean, utilizing the reach of Facebook, it has become evident that Mr. Bassoo has failed to deliver on his obligations to those who have paid their fees and to the Guyana Government who offered logistical support.
The Tourism Ministry also wishes to state unequivocally that it does not have any business relationship with Mr. Bassoo or TAGG TV and further, we have made no financial commitment to TAGG TV or its Producer.
“We wish to encourage businesses that have made payments and have not yet seen a production from TAGG TV to make urgent contact with the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA).”
