Ellis was having lunch at Chon Saan Palace with a high-powered group of Mexican investors - led by Luis Carlos Urzua of the Merca Sol Group. His promoters say he is one of the first developers to get into Cancun and Cabo in the 80's and that he currently runs a human resources first which handles payroll for twenty thousand workers. And now he's interested in investing in tourism in Belize. Francisco Turu-eno and Urzua told us what they see in Belize:..
Francisco Turueno, Organizing Mex Investor Group
"We have detected that there are several fields that we can cooperate within the two countries, getting entrepreneurs from Mexico and Belize. We feel that right now it's the precise moment to look for opportunities within your country."
Luis Carlos Urzua, Merca Sol Group
"The environment should be in a different trend rather than mass tourism, but more focused in a selected European market that look for eco-friendly and extreme adventure tourism that might be less in the traffic or transit of visitors, but with a higher expense ticket. At this stage it's a scouting phase on the feasibility to really develop eco-tourism in certain areas of Belize."
The group met with Minister of Foreign Affairs Wilfred Elrington today and say they are looking for opportunities in tourism, education, and the medical field.
