Press Release - Belize Tourism Board - January 26th, 2004 - Belize
was named the Best Adventure Destination to be featured in Caribbean
Travel & Life's special April 2004 issue of "Best of the Caribbean."
Caribbean Travel & Life, which is notably the only national travel
magazine to focus exclusively on the Caribbean and has a circulation of
a half million per issue, does an annual special survey of its readers,
both electronic and print, to discern their top choices in numerous
categories. These 15-plus categories feature beaches, bars, cuisine,
shopping, and undoubtedly, adventure destinations.
After competing against other Caribbean locales such as the
Bahamas, St. Lucia, Dominica and the Dominican Republic, Belize made
her way to the top of the list by popular opinion. The award provides
us with the opportunity to promote the destination through the use of
the official logo for one year.
This special edition of the magazine becomes available for purchase
March 20th, 2004 on news stands in the US.
Of recent, Belize was also recognized as one of the World's Best
Honeymoon Destinations For Adventure as well as one of the World's
Trendiest Honeymoon Locales. The country was also named one of the Top
Ten World Travel Destinations of 2003, as declared by iExplore in
January of this year.
Director of Tourism Tracy Taegar comments, "These types of
awards/titles take on premier significance, as they reflect the
public's opinion of the destination. It is quite encouraging to know
that individuals are discovering the Belizean adventure and taking apt
note of it."
