I tried to explain to caribj that Guyana's biggest crutch is that it does not have the blue water and white sand beaches. Only a limited market will exist for eco tourism exclusively. Many people will come for the blue water and do eco tourism as a side activity. Throw in pnc thiefman robbing and killing tourists and essentially tourism will suffer. Guyana have been described as a broken country by tourists, with danger of malaria, robbery, garbage, poor infra structure, poor hospitality and political instability.
