The ‘Welcome To Guyana’ sign forms part of the First Lady’s National Beautification Project.
The sign was designed, built and installed by Impressions while the hanging baskets were sponsored by oilfield services company TotalTec. The overall cost of the project is estimated to be in excess of 25 million dollars.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, the First Lady, said the monument augers well for destination marketing.
“The development of this area will without a doubt, add to the value of Guyana’s tourism experience and support efforts to market Brand Guyana. A strong country brand encourages tourists, trading partners and investors all at once and that is what Guyana needs.” – Her Excellency Arya Ali, First Lady of Guyana
Similar scenic conservation and revitalization projects undertaken by the Office of the First Lady are ongoing at the Kingston Seawall, Tuschen Community Centre ground and La Jalousie on the West Coast of Demerara.
