As usual you use your low class associates as evidence of the whole gamut of what constitutes the travel market. Druggie if Anguilla and St Maarten with their dried out selves are offering "rain forest tours" believe you its because they know that not everyone wants to spend their days on the beach, and this is especially true to the more affluent segment of the Millennial generation which is now emerging!
Note the following. UP FRONT I stated that Guyana will never be a 500k tourist destination as is Barbados. But Drugged out if Dominica can attract 70k tourists to climb its rapids I suspect that Guyana can do at least as much, but it doesn't. Only 10% of that number visit Guyana.
I stated that Guyanese have destroyed much of our heritage as well, which reduces out ability to develop a tourist product, and yes I bet your associates have bids to pull down City Hall, St Georges Cathedral and other such buildings so that you can erect some ugly 6 story structure with 2 windows on each floor. After all "dem is old house"!
Suriname does NOT have blue water and yet it attracts at least 100k eco/adventure tourists annually. It respects its heritage. It has well developed tourist packages and the infrastructure to deliver at costs which are reasonable. So any reason why Guyana cannot?
But yes druggie your idea of "progress" are the fast food chains, shopping malls selling cheap Chinese goods, and cineplexes showing some fluff out of Bollywood. This being all the "development" which occurred during the Jagdeo era.
No black pudding, mauby, and roasted garlic pork cart for you in Guyana. Keep on truckin' in the islands.
