How important is it for Belize to attend ITB Berlin? This market is very important for us. It has great potential and there is a great demand from this market. Two years ago, we signed a marketing contract to publicize Belize in the German market and, as a result, last year we had a 25 percent
Belize is, perhaps, the least known country in Central America: a neighbor of Guatemala and Mexico, it is the only English-speaking territory (used to be called British Honduras in the time before independence) of the mainland.
Belize has doubled its commitment to a tourism that defends the environment at all costs without options for overcrowding or all-inclusive, thanks to a careful offer of boutique hotels and crystal clear waters that are the dream of every diver.
Belize has a coastline of more than 360 kilometers. So imagine the large number of beaches for all tastes that this country has. It may not be one of the best known tourist destinations, rather because of the lack of information we sometimes have regarding its most paradisiacal corners. But this is not an obstacle so that we are not facing one of the best places to spend vacations in the Caribbean.
The Belizean Minister of Tourism and Aviation, Manuel Heredia, presented this weekend in Mexico City the new campaign "Belize: So exotic. So close", an ambitious promotion plan to attract Latin American visitors and, above all, Mexicans for the closeness and the cultural and historical similarities. Located in the Yucatan Peninsula, encased between Guatemala and Mexico, Belize with just 400,000 inhabitants annually receives one and a half million tourists from cruise ships and another 490,000 visitors, mostly from the US, Europe and Canada. Tourism represents 38% of its GDP.
However in Belize we can lift a stone and almost certainly we will meet some Mayan ruin. And it is estimated that there are more than 900 important archaeological remains of this important ancient civilization.
Within the American continent we can enjoy a series of really satisfactory proposals for couples and families. In recent years, Belize has become one of the preferred places, among other things because it offers spectacular natural areas and good gastronomy.

The Belize District is centrally located between the northern and southern borders of the country with a variety of transportation options to any point both inland and out to the cayes. Fishing, snorkeling, diving and swimming are excellent around nearby St. George's and Goff's caye while the rivers and lagoons are great for boating and sightseeing.
In the western part of Belize, you will find Cayo District, located in approximately 2,000 square miles of succulent landscape. This area shows an incredible fortune of interest and activities for tourists and is also the entrance to Guatemala and the incredible ruins of Tikal. Mountain Pine Ridge is often called the main attraction of the area, but Cayo District also includes many great Mayan ruins, towns such as San Ignacio and Santa Elena, the border of Benque Viejo and the villa between the scenic Río Mopan and Río Macal.
While Corozal District depended for many years on the sugar industry, at one time having its own sugar factory located in Libertad Village, today the economy is more diversified. Sugar production and other agricultural crops such as papaya are still central to the way of life of many rural Corozalenos, but occupations in the tourism industry are slowly becoming more prominent. Now almost 65% of Corozalenos depend on the Commercial Free Zone for employment.
Sugar, though, no longer reigns supreme in Orange Walk. In addition to the economic boost from eco tourism, there has been agricultural diversification in recent years. This has seen the recent introduction of fields of soybean, onions and papayas as cash crops. The Orange Walk district is also well known for its cattle and rum production.
Connecting to any of the southern destinations from either the capital Belmopan or the commercial center Belize City is a beautiful scenic ride on the Hummingbird and Southern Highways. This region is easily accessible by daily commuter flights to Dangriga and nearby Independence.
This eclectic and fascinating land is only just starting to get the attention – and visitors – it deserves and is gaining recognition as Belize’s “emerging destination”. The paving of the Southern Highway is finally nearing completion, the bus service runs regularly, and there are now several daily commuter flights on Tropic Air and Maya Island Air.
