ABOUT BELIZE

​Bordered by Mexico in the North, Guatemala in the West, and the Caribbean Sea in the East, Belize is a unique, vibrant country   in Central America whose British colonial history strongly links it to the Caribbean. It has a hard-working, diverse, friendly, bilingual (with English being the official language), and well-educated workforce that bolsters an economy focused on growth. Quite the popular tourist destination for its eco-friendly, pristine natural resources, year-round tropical climate, and long coast line with the second largest barrier reef in the world, creates an attractive place to visit for both business and leisure.

Belize showcases its culture by a sense of elements that expresses emotions and diversities of its people through different cultural outfits in Belize. Belize has a diverse group of people who call this country home but the main ethnic groups in Belize are the Creole, Metizos, East Indians, Mennonites, Garifuna and Mayans who still strongly practice their ritual beliefs. In Belize’s pavilion you will get a sense of these rich cultures through images, videos and music. These monuments of spiritual temples and videos of food making, spiritual rituals, events and practices of the different cultures are just a glimpse of Belize’s iconic indigenous cultures.

In October 2013, the National Institute of Culture and History (NICH) and a team of cultural activists and practitioners from across Belize developed an initiative known as the Banquitas Action Plan. This multi-year plan is being implemented as a part of a set of resolutions developed with UNESCO for the safeguarding of Belize’s intangible cultural heritage. Together, the team has embarked on the documenting and inventorying of Belize’s cultural celebrations.

PLACE

Belize continues to evolve into the top recreational and adventure destination within the Caribbean region and its attractiveness continues to be recognized by its local and international market. Belize is seen as a small country with big adventures in archaeology, backpacking, beaches and coast, birding, ecotourism, hiking and other cultural emersion activities.
 
The Belize Barrier Reef sits just miles off the coast of Belize and is part of the larger Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, second in size only to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Home to hundreds of species of coral and fish, it is a hot spot for divers, snorkelers and biologists from all over the world. Belize is recognizable also by the Blue Hole which is a giant, landmark sinkhole in the ocean, famous as a scuba-diving site.
