Alongside these representatives, hundreds of guests were welcomed all day, by our Ambassador of Belize to the U.S.A, H.E. Daniel Gutierrez, our Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Hon. Manuel Heredia Jr. and our Director of Tourism Mrs. Karen Bevans.

Visitors moved to the sounds of our lively Garifuna Drums and practiced their Punta dancing skills under the guidance of our talented Garifuna Dancers. Belizean products, Local Rice and Beans, and tasty Belizean Dishes were available for the guests to sample, while they moved around the displays to learn more about Belize from the Rainforest to the Reef.
