Belize might have another tourism angle: Medical Tourism.  There will be a meeting about it at the GPC on August 3rd.

 

"Belize has once again identified another gateway to attracting more visitors, and investors to our country, which is, through the emergence of Medical Tourism.  With this being said, the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and the Belize Trade and Investment Development Service (BELTRAIDE), will be having the first ever workshop on Medical Tourism in Belize; with the purpose of developing a country profile.  This workshop will be held on August 3, 2012, from 8:30 a.m.- 12:00 p.m., at the George Price Center, in the City of Belmopan."

The IDB is giving Belize a grant of over a million dollars to help with feasibility studies for improving the George Price Highway.  It might take a long time to finish, but it's a start.  Thanks, IDB!  This is part of the short term strategy Belize has, targeting four main areas: education, tourism, transport, and trade and tax policy.

 

"IDB provides US$540,000 Grant to Belize for George Price Highway Project Preparation Studies.  The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Government of Belize today signed a grant agreement for US$540,000 to support the preparation of feasibility studies and social and environmental assessments for the rehabilitation of 32 miles of the George Price Highway between Belmopan and Benque Viejo del Carmen."
