With hundreds of thousands of Belizeans spending millions of dollars in Chetumal annually – you wouldn't think that the southern capital of Quintana
Roo has to promote itself too much, right? Well, think again: The Embassy of Mexico and the Chetumal Chamber of Commerce, Services and Tourism
organized a Tourism and Commercial Mission today at the Institute of Mexico. Participants included hotels, restaurants, tour operators, travel agencies
and other commercial companies from Chetumal, Bacalar and Mahahual. The objective is to promote products and services that Southern Quintana Roo has to
offer, as well as to encourage regional integration between Belizean and Mexican companies. The Mexican Ambassador told us more:…
Carlos Quesnel -Ambassador of Mexico to Belize
"As we all know, Belize and Mexico we have a very good relationship but we also have a very good potential. This potential can be realised through more
trade, more commerce and more influx of Belizean visitors to Mexico and more Mexican visitors to Belize. So we are very happy that we have this
opportunity today to share this event with Mexicans and Belizeans together - trying to look for new opportunities for business. I hope that this will
be very successful and this will bring and create new opportunities of increasing our trades, increasing the relationship between both countries. We
will like to see both ways benefits to both countries. It is certain that, it's not a secret that - for Chetumal especially for Chetumal the Belizean
visitors are very important. They are a very important part of the income of Chetumal as a city. We are very happy to see more Belizeans going to
Chetumal. We want Belizeans to go also to other places other than Chetumal to Bacalar, Mahahual. We are happy to see Belizeans going to places like
Cancun, Merida and all the places in Mexico because as you know, Mexico is a large country and we very happy to see that Belizeans are interested in
having - not only being tourists but also getting goods and services in Mexico."
This is the second year for WHAT IS NOW AN annual event.
