Overview

• The Jonestown Memorial Tour is run by Wanderlust Adventures GY with government approval offering $750 packages that include a flight from Georgetown, an hourlong van ride and an overnight stay in Port Kaituma.
• The inaugural group comprised two relatives of the tour director, two journalists and two tourists on the first guided visit.
• Survivors such as John Cobb and local residents have condemned the tours as a commodification of a site where over 900 followers died in a mass murder-suicide.
• Tour organizers led by Rose Sewcharran say the visits aim to educate visitors on the dangers of manipulation and unchecked authority within the Peoples Temple.
• Plans are underway to enhance the site with signage and a small museum to provide further historical context.
