The Project:
Background
In the early 1980's tourism was of relatively little importance in Belize. Nonetheless, it was an evolving industry that was impacting various sectors. A group of individuals foresaw the importance of the industry and anticipated the need for a medium through which tourism concerns could be voiced.
Today this six hundred member strong association boasts of representation on every relevant committee, which in itself is proof of its continued commitment to national development. As a direct consequence of the organisation’s initiatives, tourism has become the fastest growing industry and has been pushed to the forefront of government's priorities.
In the international arena, this organisation continues to serve as an ambassador for Belize, marketing the country's attractions and services at all major trade shows and voicing its views at symposiums, conferences and forums.
Duties and Responsibilities

- Review membership structure of similar associations in the Caribbean, Central America and other areas with a view to identify a structure for replication.
- Review current membership structure with a view to recommend a new more applicable structure
- Recommend alternative structure with justification
