Jordan Vilchez, a survivor from the People's Temple commune, expressed her mixed feelings about the proposed tour, emphasizing the need for respect towards the victims, particularly as many were manipulated into such tragic circumstances. She reflected on her own close call with death during the mass suicide and highlighted the importance of providing context to understand the tragic decisions made by those who sought a better life in Guyana.
Neville Bissember, a law professor, criticized the idea of the tour as 'ghoulish and bizarre.' He posed challenging questions about how such a site, associated with mass tragedy and human rights violations, reflects the cultural and natural identity of Guyana. His concerns highlight the ethical considerations surrounding the commercialization of a place marred by sorrow and loss.
