Early in planning, these costs must be carefully weighed against the potential projected benefits. The Tourism Advisory Board should institute a training and licensing program for all entrepreneurs seeking permission to develop tourism in the hinterland. Key elements of the training program should be environmental awareness and sensitivity to local communities, methods for involving local people in tourist management, and so on. Training costs should be covered by a license fee paid by private investors. Establish a tourism-development fund.

A Tourism Development Fund could be set up with a part of the revenues generated from tourism in Guyana.

Monitor the impacts and economics of tourism. Initially, environmental and social impacts from ecotourism in Guyana may be tiny since the number of visits is so few.
