, 1999, and will
be handed over to the Honorable Patty Arceo.
The documentary will be used as a marketing tool to
promote our island and will feature various San Pedro dive shops, resorts
and every aspect of San Pedro Town including tourist attraction sites
such as Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark and Stingray Alley.
The Area Representative will introduce the video at a
formal ceremony. Portions of it will be included on the Ambergris Caye
website so visitors can have a brief look at their vacation destination.
The video will also be shown at the various dive and trade shows held
internationally to help promote our Isla Bonita. Hoteliers and business
owners will have access to the video at cost price to send to their
retailers and wholesalers and it will also be aired locally throughout
the country. The funding for this video is being done by Belize Rural
South and sponsoring businesses. Both Hon. Patty Arceo and the film crew
are confident that the finished product will be one we can all be proud
of and will achieve its chief objective: to give an immense boost to our
tourism industry.
In closing Mr. Rodon said, "During the
period we have been filming, we have received total cooperation from the
people of San Pedro. This is an obvious sign they realize the importance
of promoting tourism on the island."
The San Pedro Sun,
congratulates Hon. Patty Arceo for helping promote our island which will
benefit all in San Pedro and the entire country.
