Climate change is caused by actions around the world, and actions to mitigate it and to reduce the damage that it can cause can and should occur throughout the planet. To this end, The Nature Conservancy has developed financial and collection strategies that allow social actors in a country to compensate for their emissions elsewhere in the globe, contributing to improve the quality of life of local populations. That is what has happened, for example, in the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Reserve, which has achieved financial sustainability through the removal of carbon offsets.
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.

Belize is a country in Central America, whose coasts are washed by the Caribbean Sea. Its tourist attractions are, by the way, very varied, the main ones being the keys, the coastal atolls and the coral reef.
The Mountainous Maya region attracts lovers of outdoor adventures. Recognizing the value of healthy ecosystems, the Belize government has allocated much of this region as protected areas. As a result, the environment remains very healthy and unspoiled, with abundant wildlife and native vegetation. The Mountainous Maya region of Belize extends west of the Hummingbird Highway and the area that borders the Western Highway.
Occupying one of the last unspoiled places on earth just south of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Belize is a beautiful Caribbean getaway. There tourists can rest on the white sand, dive the largest coral reef in the Western Hemisphere, walk through lush jungle and explore ancient Mayan ruins all in one vacation. There is much to visit in Belize for travelers.
The Belize Ministry of Immigration has decided to eliminate the visa requirement for several countries in Asia and Latin America, including Brazil and Colombia, with the aim of boosting tourism, local media reported today.

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.
