The Diving Equipment & Marketing Association is a non-profit membership-based association created to help businesses in the Scuba Diving and Action Water Sports industries. DEMA works directly with local associations of dive operators. DEMA also has involvement with Marine Life Protection Areas and other critical legislative considerations.

The areas of Award were "New Surface Interval - Cave Tubing in Belize" and "New Marine Park Development - Gladden Spit Marine Reserve." The Editor's Choice Award is the first of its kind and is expected to be an annual event.

"We continue to assertively market Belize at shows that present greater opportunities for exposure with our target market," comments Director of Tourism, Tracy Taegar Panton. "As an active member of DEMA, the Belize Tourism Board encourages its stakeholders to take on these opportunities to strengthen our awareness and bring Belize to the forefront."

And if we would have known about this show, we would have stayed longer. We were in Las Vegas 29-1st attending the annual cycling trade show - would have been great to combine the two. Congratulations to all of you. Where was the convention - Sands, Venetian?
