Belize City
Belize is a very small country located in the heart of Central America. Belize is bordered by Mexico to the north and Guatemala to the west and south (Gonzales, 2014). The country is filled with so many amazing history and culture. Belize’s history is such an interesting story that it is now being taught in schools throughout the country. It goes back to the first people who lived in Belize and developed a Culture known as the Maya (Assad, 1994). The Maya reached their peak in the 6th, 7th, and 8th centuries. However by the 14th century this once great civilization mysteriously declined. When the Spanish arrived the Maya presence was at distinction (Assad, 1994). Furthermore, as in many other countries Belize’s economy faced decline after World War II and this push factor led for independence. Self-government was then granted and formed democratic parties and parliamentary style of rule. Later this country gained full independence and officially became Belize.
Belize, is known for its wonderful longest living Barrier Reef in the world that stretches out along the Eastern Coast as well as for its ethnic diversity. This jewel is a great tourist destination because of its beauty, marine life, tropical climate, cool breezes and friendly people. English is the official language in Belize and is the only English-speaking country in Central America. Spanish, Mayan, Garifuna (carib), and Creole are also spoken in the country since it is comprised of its melting pot of cultures and is considered a part of the Caribbean.
Like any other country, Belize engages in some type of international business with foreign countries so that there can be a balance of money coming in and out of the country. Some of its major partners are Unite States, China, Cuba, United Kingdom, Italy, Nigeria, Mexico etc. and is comprised of two major industries. Tourism is the number one industry in Belize followed by Agriculture.
