Susan Rodrigues assumes leadership of Guyana's Tourism Ministry and proposes hotel rate limits for citizens. The new minister requests accommodation providers establish maximum charges of $200 per night for domestic travelers and overseas Guyanese. Rodrigues believes affordable lodging will enable more residents to explore national attractions without financial barriers. Her initiative targets predictable tourism patterns through competitive pricing strategies.
The government plans annual event calendars to help visitors schedule trips months ahead. Rodrigues brings private sector experience to her ministerial role and seeks business partnerships for industry expansion. A Tourism and Hospitality Institute opens in Region Six by June 2026 to train workers in service skills. These reforms aim to maintain consistent hotel occupancy while diversifying the national economy.
