Belize is the first country to join the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance having shown a real commitment to sustainable tourism.

This includes developing sustainable initiatives such as creating community-based tourism clusters that preserve Indigenous Communities.

Belize is found on the eastern coast of Central America, with Caribbean Sea shorelines to the east and dense jungle to the west.

Belize is internationally recognised for the preservation of The Belize Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the second largest reef globally.

The Reef is dotted with hundreds of low-lying islands called cayes and hosts rich marine life. Belize's jungle areas are home to Mayan ruins like Caracol, renowned for its towering pyramid; lagoon-side Lamanai and Altun Ha, just outside Belize City.

The Sustainable Hospitality Alliance's Destination Partner initiative is designed to engage local, regional and national tourism organisations in a sustainability agenda to help support the industry in accelerating towards Net Positive Hospitality.
