Those of you who love browsing TV channels can now check out Belize's first channel, it's called See Belize Travel Channel. The Belize Tourism Board, Color Blind Multimedia Productions and NICH launched the channel today. I found out about the content and why this channel is going to be a game changer for tourists and Belizeans alike.
Courtney Weatherburne reporting
These are just a few of the breathtaking shots that will be featured on the See Belize Channel.
There will also be several TV series and different programs that locals and tourists can follow that highlight everything Belize.
The channel was officially launched today at the North Park Restaurant but it made it's debut last night on channel 12 on the Central Cable Vision network.
Hon. Manuel Heredia, Minister of Tourism
"As you see we were here for the launching of these video shots over here, we partnered with color blind to make sure we can show case the Belizean experience."
Audrey Wallace, Director, Color Blind Multimedia Productions
"One of the important things is that the audience that we are seeking is people who are visitors who are already in country, once they are here they may not have known they are here during lobster fest or Cocoa fest or we just went through the month of November and the big highlight is the celebration of our Garifuna people they may not know that so these things allow them to look at what is happening around them and they may extend their stay and spend more money."
While the travel channel appeals primarily to tourists, it is also for Belizeans to learn and explore their country.
Audrey Wallace, Director, Color Blind Multimedia Productions
"We realize that this local cable channel is just as important to potential visitors as it is to our own people, they come back with such pride expressing Oh my God, I didn't know we had such beautiful places, I did not know we offered these opportunities and these experiences in our very own back yard so there is an important role that this cable channel will provide for our own Belizean people to explore, experience our Belize."
"The journey of the See Belize Channel just begins today because we have loaded up the first content and it is going to be constantly updated but we also welcome feedback, this platform that we have created is not only for color blind to fill, we welcome other creatives in the industry if they have great ideas to work along with us to create content for this platform."
As you heard, you can catch See Belize on channel 12 on CCV. It will soon be available on all local cable networks countrywide. The online version of the channel will also be up and ready next Friday.
