The year 2025 is of significance for a Guyana that is in the process of re-defining itself as a tourism destination. This ebook seeks to examine tourism prospects, options and challenges as Guyana prepares for a future that, to a significant degree, will be financed by extraction of a non-renewable resource, even as it pursues a development path that is defined as the transition to the Green State. It explores the place of community-based tourism, human resource training and entrepreneurship in this tourism development matrix and examines the role of the diaspora as a force in the tourism development of Guyana. It also ventures into the dark alley of ‘thanatourism’ and proposes a Jonestown tourism initiative as a potential attraction to boost dark tourism traffic to Guyana.
