(Kaieteur News) – As Guyana celebrates Tourism Awareness Month this November, the Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) is highlighting the importance of quality, safety and professionalism in the tourism industry through the National Standard, GCP 18 – Code of Practice for Tour Operators and Tour Guides. This standard provides guidance to tourism service providers on acceptable practices that can improve service delivery, enhance visitor experiences and strengthen confidence in Guyana’s tourism sector.

Guyana’s rich biodiversity, breathtaking landscapes and cultural heritage continue to offer visitors unique experiences. Whether exploring Kaieteur Falls, embarking on rainforest adventures or participating in cultural tours, visitors rely on tour operators and guides to provide safe, informative and memorable experiences. Maintaining high service standards is therefore essential to strengthening Guyana’s reputation as a tourism destination.
