By Kiana Wilburg Perfectly perched on a steep hill is a villa where local and regional entertainers have been retreating to not only enjoy privacy at its best but also to experience the wonders of the developing township of Bartica.Hotelier, Sonia ProwellTo some, Bartica is filled with many opportunities for tourism development. And one mother of two is doing her part to maximize the potential of that district.It was only last year that Sonia Prowell, a happily married woman, sought to establish a hotel in Eight Street, Third Avenue, Bartica. She calls it,Deion Jones Falcons Jersey UK, “La Vista Hotel” which when translated, is Spanish for “The View.”With fully furnished rooms and excellent customer service, she has been striving to deliver a hotel service in the mining community that is unlike any other.The Hotel Manager said in an interview with Kaieteur News that she is hoping to raise the standards of the hotel services offered in Bartica, as well as contribute to accentuating the tourism attractions of the mining town.“I saw a need for a more, or should I say, a higher standard, in the accommodation facilities in this side of the country and if I was going to get involved in it, the primary thing I wanted to remove was the short stay service. So fortunately, or unfortunately,Cheap Adidas Sneakers Online, I am not offering stay for three and four hours. And that is part of the reason why I gave it the name The View.”“The view from the hotel is beautiful but I also want a different outlook on the service being offered to tourists and even people who live in other parts of Guyana. But I am also trying to carve out a special niche in relation to this hotel. While it is open to locals, I really am trying to transform it into a sanctuary for local and regional entertainers to enjoy their privacy in a very comfortable environment whenever they are in Bartica.”The hotelier said that this all got started when the much talked about top regional musical superstars RDX and Jah Cure were brought in for Bartica’s Annual Regatta.She said that the hotel was established to cater to the expected “boom in tourists” in that area and the response was overwhelming.She said that both artistes have been regular visitors since their first trip and have always stayed there with her among others.Though quite a few businesses have been forced to cut back due to the “gold struggles”, Prowell is optimistic that she will be able to add to improving the tourism potential of the community.As it relates to the perception of the flourishing life that comes with being an hotelier,Andrew MacDonald Jersey, Prowell said that it’s not that glamourous.As a mother of two, she said that it can be challenging.The La Vista Hotel“I manage it on my own. My husband would render guidance or advice but he has his own ventures and job as well. He shares in my dreams as well but being a female hotelier is not some posh or glamorous lifestyle you automatically get on a platter.”“It is like taking care of an extended family. I treat them with love and care and ensure that when they are here it is like being right at home,” she added.As it relates to obstacles in her arena, Prowell asserts that, fortunately, there aren’t too many. And in hindsight, she expressed that she would not refer to the hurdles she had to surpass as obstacles but rather as things that a new hotelier would learn along the way.But Prowell insists that having the hotel is also part of the legacy she wants to leave behind for her two boys.“With this establishment,Nike Air Max 1 Mens Trainers, I want to show them how to properly nurture a business. That everything is not about money and that is the mistake most small hoteliers make. They focus on the profits as opposed to placing emphasis on catering to the needs of the customers and seeing them as part of their own family.”Prowell also sought to advise other women who are interested in similar business ventures to ensure that they get the necessary research done and ensure that,Philadelphia Flyers Gear, included in the realization of their business dreams,Brett Kulak Jersey, is their family.She opined that this is important because, if you are a mother, you shouldn’t dare to make the unforgivable mistake of placing the development of your business over that of your children.Prowell concluded that she has even more projects in the making to help boost her community tourism industry. In the meantime, she will continue to deliver great service while developing an extraordinary home for entertainers on a peaceful hill in Bartica.
