There is an opportunity for collaboration between service industries in Belize and in Barbados. This morning the Barbados Coalition of Service Industries along with BELTRAIDE – held the first in a series of forums aimed at bringing together service providers from the two territories. The project’s manager Michelle Hustler told us how it will work.

Michelle Hustler, Barbados Coalition of Service Providers
“This forum is a chance to hear presentation on doing business in Barbados, doing business in Belize, the important of strategic alliances in export processing and also the training participants had a chance to let the Belize community know their objectives and mission and who they would like to meet with.”

Keith Swift,
How can Belizean businesses benefit from this?

Michelle Hustler,
“Well what I am hoping that happens is that relationships are formed that will be mutually beneficial to both parties, meaning the Barbadian trade mission participants will establish relationships in Belize that will help them doing business forward and hopefully that the Belize business community will undertake a mission to Barbados and see how they can do business in Barbados going forward as well.”

The mission continues through to Thursday. Interested service providers can contact BELTRAIDE.
