This paper aims to outline the key realities which need to be under consideration as Guyana crafts a vision for sustainable tourism development – 2025. These key realities are borne out of the current vision statement, strategic objectives and actions in the National Draft Tourism Policy 2016-2020.
The paper is exploratory in nature and uses document analysis as primary means of data collection.
The achievement of sustainable tourism development is an ideal fit with the tabling of strategic policy documents that seek to guide its implementation. However, these objectives and actions need to be structured and measurable to ensure that monitoring and evaluation can occur.
It is anticipated that this research will serve as a valuable reference tool for researchers, policymakers and other relevant bodies with an interest in strategic action for the achievement of sustainable tourism development.
