Betex, Belize's Tourism Expo, starts tomorrow, and ends Friday.  Many Cayo businesses will be attending the BTIA organized event, which will, take place in Belize City.  Cayo's Larry Waight wrote an article about BETEX for commdiginews.com.  You can find out more at their website: http://www.betex.bz/


"The Belize Tourism Expo is an initiative of the Belize Tourism Industry Association, Belize’s leading national private sector tourism association. BTIA represents a unified voice, and advocates for issues that benefit its members.  BTIA also influences tourism policy, legislation and marketing for the sustainable development of the industry and improved quality of the visitor experience. BETEX was first organized in 1996 and now takes place every two years, attracting approximately 300 - 350 local and international tourism professionals and press representatives."

The Belize Tourism Expo is tonight, and it's the big event for tourism professionals.  The BTIA and BTB are making sure it'll be a grand event.

 

"Traditional Marimba music will be featured, along with other Mayan cultural performances, with an ambiance to complement the Maya-inspired dinner menu.  Since 2012 is the 'Year of the Maya', travelers are excited about the many activities this year, particularly the Winter Solstice event in December.  Even though BETEX will highlight the diversity of Belizean cultures, it has dedicated an entire Post Tour focused on Maya 2012 for enthusiasts."

BETEX is Belize’s Rising Tourism Star

Great title.  The Belize Tourism Industry Association had a great turnout at BETEX.  Cayo has had more tourism this year.  

 

"According to BTIA President Jim Scott, this year was the biggest in the event’s history, with over 350 attendees at Belize’s Princess Hotel.  Mr. Scott said that due to the country’s small size and other unique attributes, promoting Belize in-country was more effective than attending larger trade shows overseas.  'Where better can you promote your culture and your destination than at home?  They get to learn about Belize, about our culture, about our natural resources, things to do while they are here… the hotels, tour operators, sites, restaurants, smells and so many good things.  Things that you have pride in as a Belizean.'"
