GEORGE­TOWN – The Guyana Tourism Au­thor­i­ty (GTA) has ap­point­ed West In­dies left-arm spin­ner Gu­dakesh Motie as an of­fi­cial Tourism Brand Am­bas­sador in part­ner­ship with his man­age­ment agency Grav­i­ty Sports.

As part of his re­spon­si­bil­i­ties, Motie will lend his voice and in­flu­ence to pro­mote Guyana as a lead­ing sus­tain­able tourism des­ti­na­tion at home and abroad, tak­ing part in a range of des­ti­na­tion mar­ket­ing cam­paigns, in­clud­ing dig­i­tal con­tent fea­tures, com­mu­ni­ty out­reach, fan en­gage­ment, and me­dia ap­pear­ances.

Ad­di­tion­al­ly, he will al­so em­bark on a se­ries of guid­ed tours to im­merse him­self in Guyana’s nat­ur­al, cul­tur­al, and ad­ven­ture tourism ex­pe­ri­ences and share those ex­pe­ri­ences with re­gion­al and in­ter­na­tion­al au­di­ences.

“Gu­dakesh Motie rep­re­sents the spir­it of Guyana: proud, de­ter­mined, and ground­ed in com­mu­ni­ty and cul­ture,” said Kam­rul Baksh, Di­rec­tor of the Guyana Tourism Au­thor­i­ty.

“We are ho­n­oured to part­ner with him to show­case Guyana’s di­verse and au­then­tic tourism ex­pe­ri­ences. His grow­ing pro­file in crick­et and his strong Guyanese iden­ti­ty make him a pow­er­ful ad­vo­cate for sus­tain­able tourism and na­tion­al pride.”

The part­ner­ship is part of the GTA’s broad­er ini­tia­tive to align sports, cul­ture, and tourism and to lever­age high-pro­file per­son­al­i­ties to help tell the sto­ry of Guyana as an eco-con­scious, vi­brant, and wel­com­ing trav­el des­ti­na­tion.
