Guyana is strengthening its trade infrastructure through major road and bridge expansion projects, including the Corentyne River Bridge and the Palmyra to Moleson Creek Highway, to improve cross-border connectivity. The country is also expanding international air travel capacity, offering over 30,000 weekly seats and introducing new long-haul routes from global carriers. In addition, port modernization and logistics development initiatives are enhancing regional trade efficiency and streamlining cargo movement.

Guyana’s active participation in regional trade agreements provides significant advantages for businesses and investors. As a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the country benefits from favorable trade protocols that allow the free movement of goods, services, and labor across member nations.

Guyana’s bilateral trade agreements open new avenues for economic growth and international collaboration. The Guyana–Brazil Partial Scope Agreement reduces tariff barriers on selected goods, encouraging the expansion of tourism-related services and products between the two countries. Similarly, the Guyana–China Trade Agreement promotes increased commerce through preferential trade terms, which are expected to boost Chinese tourist arrivals and stimulate investment in tourism-related infrastructure.

Guyana’s air connectivity is rapidly expanding, with over 30,000 seats now available each week thanks to new services from United Airlines, American Airlines, Sky High, LIAT, and Avianca. In addition, discussions are underway with a prestigious luxury travel company to invest in premium eco-tourism, further enhancing the country’s appeal as a high-value travel destination.
