Belize Scores Big In Trip Advisor Awards
posted (January 29, 2015)
Today, Trip Advisor released its list of winners for the 2015 Travelers' Choice Award.

On this year's list, there are about 32 Belizean hotels and resorts which have been chosen by guests who left with a very good impression.

Of course, this kind positive publicity is always welcomed by the Belize Tourism Board, and today, the Acting Director of Public Relations and Marketing told us that a prestigious award such as this helps the overall tourism product of the country:

Karen Pike, Acting Director of Marketing and Industry Relations
"The BTB would like to congratulate our hotels who have won the awards on the Trip Advisors 2015 Travelers Choice Awards. We have properties that have ranked in the top 25 small hotels in Central America. Top 25 hotels for romance in Central America, as well as top 25 hotels for service in Central America, amongst other categories. We are pleased that they have been recognized because we realize that it's so hard for them, its hard work to be ranked and to the ranked in the world as well as the region."

"I believe that Trip Advisor has their listing of hotels that they get ranked by their travelers and then they use this information to compile statistics to then develop rankings."

There are multiple categories that these 32 or so hotels have been honored in, and a list will be posted on our website.
