The Guyana Tourism Authority announces that Shamar Joseph, the renowned West Indies fast bowler, has been named its official Tourism Ambassador.
This partnership comes on the heels of Joseph’s recent heroics in the Australia versus West Indies Test match, where he captured a record-breaking 7-68, securing a phenomenal win for the West Indies.
Hailing from Baracara, Berbice, Joseph embodies an unwavering sense of determination, both on and off the field. The Guyana Tourism Authority recognizes his exceptional talent and believes he is on a path to achieving remarkable success in the cricketing world.
“We are incredibly proud to welcome Shamar Joseph as our Tourism Ambassador. He is about to embark on a journey to discover and showcase the best that Guyana has to offer,” said Kamrul Baksh, Director of Guyana Tourism Authority.
He further emphasized that “Shamar’s dedication, resilience, and passion for his home country perfectly align with the values we strive to promote for Guyana. More importantly, as we continue to promote sports tourism, this is the perfect opportunity for us to amplify our efforts.”
The Guyana Tourism Authority and Joseph will collaborate on exciting projects, focusing on initiatives leading up to the highly anticipated ICC Men’s T20 cricket matches scheduled in Guyana.
This partnership promises a variety of promotional activities, including awareness sessions with young students, promotional sweepstakes, and familiarization trips to some of Guyana’s most breathtaking natural attractions.
The Guyana Tourism Authority is confident that this collaboration will significantly elevate Guyana’s tourism profile.
