Aagman restaurant yesterday opened a branch at New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop.
According to the Facebook page Eyes on Region Three, Ministers Dr Vindhya Persaud and Susan Rodrigues were on hand for the opening.
Aagman has had a restaurant on Sheriff Street for 13 years.
A release today from the Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce said that Rodrigues, while delivering the feature address, highlighted the continued growth of Guyana’s tourism and hospitality sector and the importance of local businesses investing and expanding to meet growing opportunities.
She stated that tourism growth must translate into tangible benefits for Guyanese through business development, employment, skills training and opportunities across the tourism value chain.
The Minister noted that restaurants form an important part of the visitor experience and contribute to the development of tourism circuits, while welcoming Aagman’s decision to reinvest in its business after 13 years of operation.
The release said that Aagman co-owner, Neha Meena reflected on the family’s journey and their confidence in Guyana’s continued development, particularly in Region Three.
“For us, Aagman is more than a restaurant. It is a place where families celebrate, friends reconnect, and memories are created around the table.”
Meena also highlighted Guyana’s potential for wellness tourism, noting the country’s forests, rivers and natural environment as an opportunity to attract visitors seeking wellness and conscious retreats.
The new location adds to the growing range of dining and hospitality offerings in Region Three and further strengthens the connection between the tourism, culinary and business sectors, the release said.
