The Belize Hotel Association in collaboration with Viaventure Central America held its first virtual travel webinar series on June 1st to June 4th, 2020. Connecting over 30 hoteliers and tour operators across the region of Belize with distinguished international travel agents and wholesalers, the trade show provided a free virtual trip to Belize as a travel destination and the attendance of local experts who were present from the comfort and safety of their homes.

The aim of the webinar series was geared to inspire future travels and place Belize as a top destination following COVID-19.

During the presentations, attendees got insights from each exhibitor about their property, business, amenities, tips, and recommendations along with an overview of their safety protocol and procedures. Through this opportunity, the host presenter was able to share their story and have a Q&A session at the end of their presentation to highlight more about the culture, cuisine, and history of Belize.  

The webinar presentation kicked off on Monday, June 1st, at 10:15 a.m. with the introduction from BHA’s President, Mr. Ted Tejada, who gave a brief update about the country of Belize regarding the COVID-19 situation. As the borders remain closed at this time, with a tentative open date being July 1st, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, international travellers are required to stay at home. The BHA looks forward to bringing more presentations about Belize and our members in the future.
