  • Belize Factsheet IV – Maritime and Coastal Tourism
    Evidence-based and policy coherent Oceans Economy and Trade Strategies1. Sector data factsheet2: Belize Maritime and coastal tourism 1. INTRODUCTION The project “Evidence-based and policy coherent Oceans Economy and Trade Strategies” aims to support developing countries such as Barbados, Belize and Costa Rica, in realizing trade and economic benefits from the sustainable use of marine resources within the framework of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This data factsheet presents detailed sectorial information of one (of the four) ocean sectors selected in Belize to facilitate the identification and informed selection of key sectors to be considered for the next phase of the project: Sector 1 Sector 2 Sector 3 Sector 4 Marine fisheries Aquaculture Seafood manufacturing Tourism 1.1. THE MARITIME TOURISM SECTOR Tourism is the largest of all ocean economic sectors, generating more than a USD 1.6 trillion globally in 2017. International tourist arrivals grew by 7% reaching a record of 1,323 million arrivals in 2017. It is expected that international arrivals will reach to 1.8 trillion by 2030 (UNWTO, 2018), outperforming all other services sectors with perhaps the exception of financial services. Tourism is also the sector that contributes the most to the GDP of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), but also of coastal developing countries. These countries enjoy a special geographical situation, outstanding natural endowments and cultural heritage richness that make them unique for visitors. At the same time, they confront several challenges and vulnerabilities including remoteness, low connectivity, limited economic diversification, small internal markets, as well as adverse, perhaps recurrent climate events.

  • A Study of the Garifuna of Belize's Toledo District Alexander Gough
    Indigenous identity in a contested land: A study of the Garifuna of Belize’s Toledo district Alexander Gough This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2018 Lancaster University Law School 1 Declaration This thesis has not been submitted in support of an application for another degree at this or any other university. It is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated. Many of the ideas in this thesis were the product of discussion with my supervisors. Alexander Gough, Lancaster University 21st September 2018 2 Abstract The past fifty years has seen a significant shift in the recognition of indigenous peoples within international law. Once conceptualised as the antithesis to European identity, which in turn facilitated colonial ambitions, the recognition of indigenous identity and responding to indigenous peoples’ demands is now a well-established norm within the international legal system. Furthermore, the recognition of this identity can lead to benefits, such as a stake in controlling valuable resources. However, gaining tangible indigenous recognition remains inherently complex. A key reason for this complexity is that gaining successful recognition as being indigenous is highly dependent upon specific regional, national and local circumstances. Belize is an example of a State whose colonial and post-colonial geographies continue to collide, most notably in its southernmost Toledo district. Aside from remaining the subject of a continued territorial claim from the Republic of Guatemala, in recent years Toledo has also been the battleground for the globally renowned indigenous Maya land rights case.

  • Birds of the Cayo District, British Honduras
    No. 11,— Birds of the Cayo District, British Honduras By Oliver L. Austin, Jr. A substantial contribution toward the expenses of the Mason- Blodgett Expedition from the William and Adelaide Barbour Fund made it possible for me to accompany Mr. Gregory Mason to Central America during the spring of 1928. The main purposes of the expedi­ tion were archaeology and ethnology, but it was considered that, in as much as the route lay through a region so interesting and so little worked ornithologically, the opportunity for research in this field should not be neglected. On March 15, 1928, Mason and I left Belize, British Honduras, for El Cayo, which we reached March 18, traveling up the Belize River by motor launch. I spent the next three days collecting there, while Mason observed and studied a Maya religious fiesta at the neighboring villages of Succotz and Benque Viejo. The fiesta finished, Mason in­ tended to spend most of his time moving about from village to village by pack train, studying the native Indian tribes. It is nearly impossible to study birds, when one must needs spend one’s whole day in the saddle on a short-gaited mule, so it behooved me to find some more permanent base from which to work. The Mengel Mahogany Company was more than hospitable, and made me very comfortable for two weeks at their headquarters at Camp 6, about twelve miles south of El Cayo. For their many kindnesses to me, I shall always feel indebted to the manager and his wife, Mr. and Mrs.

  • 2013 Economic Impact of Flats Fishing in Belize
    2013 ECONOMIC IMPACT OF FLATS FISHING IN BELIZE Prepared for: Bonefish and Tarpon Trust P.O. Box 644257 Vero Beach, FL 32964 Prepared by: Anthony J. Fedler, Ph.D. Human Dimensions Consulting 9707 SW 55th Road Gainesville Florida July 2014 2013 ECONOMIC IMPACT OF FLATS FISHING IN BELIZE Executive Summary Belize is a world‐class flats fishing destination that has grown in popularity over the past decade. The protection of bonefish, permit and tarpon from commercial harvest was a cornerstone in this advancement and has been a key message in marketing the country’s fishing experiences throughout North America and Europe. However, fishing lodge owners, fishing guides and conservationists are concerned about persistent and spreading threats to the quality of flats fishing in Belize. These concerns have focused on inadequate fisheries management and enforcement, deterioration of water quality, and habitat destruction. The sport fishery supports an extensive array of independent fishing guides, fishing lodges and hotels, and other support services in Belize. A 2007 study of flats fishing in Belize showed that the economic impact totaled $56 million (BZD) and comprised about 6.3% of all tourist expenditures (Fedler 2008). Because of changes in both the economy and enhanced perception of flats fishing in Belize since the 2007 study and growing concerns over fisheries sustainability and habitat protection, a new economic study was undertaken to update the understanding and value of flats fishing to the tourism economy of Belize. This study of 2013 flats fishing in Belize used interviews with independent fishing guides, tour operators, and fishing lodge owners and managers to identify the number of anglers and their days fishing in Belize.

  • Tourism and Biodiversity (Ecotourism - a Sustainable Development Tool, a Case for Belize)
    CASE STUDY: TOURISM AND BIODIVERSITY (ECOTOURISM - A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT TOOL, A CASE FOR BELIZE) Prepared by Wiezsman Pat c/o Ministry of Tourism and youth Constitution Drive Belmopan Belize Tel.# 501 8 23393/4 Fax # 501 8 23815 e-mail: [email protected] January, 2001 1 Introduction: The following is a Case Study: Tourism and Biodiversity. In this instance, Ecotourism as a developmental tool and a tool for biodiversity planning and conservation for Belize is emphasized. This document highlights the potential of ecotourism as an economic activity that will: contribute to the sustainable economic and social development of the country and contribute to environmental and cultural heritage preservation, while ensuring the participation of the local communities and other stakeholders in the process. Overview of present state of Tourism Development in Belize: 1.1 Relative importance in the national economy Tourism is currently the most important contributor to Belize’s economy. According to the figures presented by the Belize Tourism Board for the year 1999, tourism contributes to approximately 18 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), 23 percent of the GDP with indirect economic benefits complied, 25 percent of total foreign exchange earnings and 1 in 4 jobs. The trend for the past ten years (1990 - to present) shows a steady increase (reflected in the Annex). Renewed investor confidence, an integrated tourism strategy and clear policy direction will set the platform for further economic growth while protecting Belize’s rich natural and cultural resources. Given the increasing economic importance of tourism to Belize’s economy, the Ministry of Tourism and Youth has embarked on the development of a new strategic platform for tourism.
