"The Belize Tourism Board aims to provide information on the structure, status and direction of the Belize tourism industry to members of the travel trade, press, potential investors, students and researchers.

Belize's vision is to develop the tourism sector as a national priority, with a primary focus on responsible tourism, aimed at marine activities, natural history, and adventure markets. Development and promotion of the industry will be carried out to encourage a strong "eco-ethic" to ensure environmental and socio-cultural sustainability, to promote equitable distribution of economic benefits, and to develop a strong, positive image for Belize. As a lead sector of our economy, a competitive tourism industry will be a major force with respect to the future economic development efforts of the Government of Belize."*
