The Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce is the primary Government body responsible for tourism and private sector development. For many years, tourism was the second largest export sector for Guyana, before the discovery of oil and gas reserves. Guyana’s nascent Oil and Gas industry has propelled the country’s economic growth and development, being recorded among the fastest-growing economies for the last few years.
Critically, the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce is mandated to ensure that the economy is aptly diversified with investments in all sectors especially in Tourism to ensure sustainable growth by preventing dependence on Oil and Gas.
The Ministry’s core responsibility is to nurture a business-friendly environment, through the creation of policies, development and amendment of legislation and the implementation of other programs and initiatives.
