Guyana has been named the #1 "Best of Ecotourism" destination in the world in the second annual Best of Top 100 Awards.

The award winners are selected by a panel of experts who reviewed sustainability success stories submitted by destinations worldwide.

The newly created "Best of Ecotourism" category was added in 2019 and put Guyana up against destinations including Sierra Gorda in Mexico, Tmatboey in Cambodia and the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador.

Guyana has devoted much effort in recent years to develop andintroduce new and innovative eco-friendly tourism products as a part of the national Green State Development Strategy.
