According to the statistics gathered by the Belize Tourism Board (BTB) 2014 was an outstanding year for the Tourism Industry in Belize. The year started with several properties in Belize earning awards in TripAdvisor's 2014 Travelers' Choice Awards (Our Belize Jungle Lodge being one of them!).
Ambergris Caye was then named the #1 Island in the World, for the second year in a row.
Scuba Diving magazine outlined Belize as the "Central American paradise" who "earned a host of 2014 Top 100 Readers Choice Awards."
Delta Airlines employed additional flights through the Atlanta route to Belize, while United Airlines announced a new direct flight for Chicago-Belize, operational December, 2014, to May, 2015.
Then, there was the announcement by Southwest Airlines that they would begin nonstop service to Belize, via Houston's William P. Hobby Airport, commencing October, 2015.
An amazing 300,000 overnight visitors experienced Belize last year! with all these awards, and the many new ways to get here, we are sure 2015 will be an even more productive year for the tourism industry. Of course Belize has changed in many other ways, and in more we have stayed the same. The same friendly people, the same amazing natural wonders and wildlife and the same amazing experiences just waiting for you at Ian Anderson's Caves Branch Jungle Lodge in Belize.
