Review
'Going where others fear to read (or publish).' The Sunday Times 'I'm just back from a Sustainable Tourism Conference media trip to Guyana and thought you'd like to know that the Bradt guide to Guyana was very much praised throughout the trip. It was absolutely brilliant!' Carol Hay, Director of marketing UK & Europe, Caribbean Tourism Organisation
About the Author
Kirk Smock (www.kirksmock.com) is a freelance writer and tourism consultant from the US. He lived in Guyana with his wife for 2½ years while she fulfilled a public health fellowship in Georgetown. Since Kirk left Guyana in late 2007, he has remained actively involved with tourism development in the country while working on the Guyana Sustainable Tourism Initiative, a USAID-funded project. Kirk currently lives in Baltimore with his wife, their son and two cats - one of which is Guyanese. His work has appeared in several publications. This edition has been updated by Claire Antell, a Latin American travel specialist who has promoted South America for many years as a tour operator, UK representative, marketing consultant, freelance writer and Executive Secretary of the Latin American Travel Association. Claire fell in love with Guyana in 2004 when she first visited the country on a familiarisation trip and realised she was in one of the continent's last frontiers for tourism where the mouth-droppingly beautiful Kaieteur Falls is still a well-kept secret and the rainforests, savannah and local Amerindian villages offer some of the most authentic and pristine experiences in the Americas. Since then she has returned every year to Guyana to explore and promote it to intrepid travellers around the world and has represented the destination in major consumer and travel events around the world.
