Perhaps to improve and sustain the tourism the gov't could get it's revenues from other sources such as land tax (for non-Belizian citizen owners) and maybe a slightly higer sales/good and services tax instead of duties, landing fees and departure tax. I know some of the people who have built houses and condos at a steal won't like that idea but it may be best for Belize in the long run. I mean to pay $100 or $200 land tax/year is unbelievable compared to the $3000 to $5000/year we pay at home. Who knows maybe there will be some money left over to put into the education system to really get Belize going forward.

Phil, most of the Caribbean islands have to import all of what they use except for maybe food and rum... Antigua even imports water! I'm not sure how Belize is different.
