Belize září na "2009 Taipei International Travel Fair" v Čínské republice (Taiwan).

Taipei, Republic of China (Taiwan) November 10, 2009 - The "2009 Taipei International Travel Fair" was held from October 30 to November 2 in Taipei, and for the first time since the exposition was first held 23 years ago, Belize was fully represented by the Embassy of Belize to the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Belize Tourism Board.

The theme of Belize's display was "Be One with Belize," and it was centered on the three R's: Rainforest, Reef, and Ruin. During the four-day exposition, foreign and local reporters from the print and electronic media, such as CTI Television, Next Magazine, Togo Magazine, NOW News, The China Post, Rich Marketing and Communication, and SET TV, interviewed representatives of the Embassy and the BTB.

Numerous representatives of local travel agencies, such as Richmond Tours, Happy Taiwan Holiday, Hiyatt Tour, SET-tour, and Sunday Tours, also visited the Belize booth expressing strong interest in including Belize in their tour packages. The Taipei-based country manager of TACA and COPA Airlines also expressed their commitment to continue promoting Belize in this part of the world. In fact, the COPA Airline country manager explained to the Embassy and BTB representatives that COPA Airline will soon start to promote Belize as a destination to local tourists using Cancun as an in-transit point, now that there is a direct connection from Cancun to Belize via a Belize airline.

The "Taipei International Travel Fair" is the largest travel and tourism exposition in Asia, attracting this year 58 participating countries and approximately 300,000 visitors.

The Embassy of Belize and the Taipei-based Central America Trade Office sponsored BTB representative Mrs. Amy Leiva's participation at the exposition.
