When UNESCO’s website pays tribute to a single nation for contributing more than the usual amount of energy to sustainability, the world takes notice. A recent statement on the non-profit’s website salutes Belize, calling the nation “a global leader in marine conservation,” and citing the country’s “recent execution of its US$364m Blue Bond (the largest bond for ocean conservation seen to date).”
This collaborative effort has drawn energy and funds from amazing resources. Among them are the Belize Coastal Zone Management Authority and Institute (CZMAI), Belize Fisheries Department, the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, The Nature Conservancy's Reef Resilience Network, and other sponsors and contributors.
Why are so many entities jumping on board? Because changes in global weather patterns have had a dramatic impact on coral reefs, and since Belize is home to the world’s second longest reef, the nation is responding. In fact, every aspect of sustainability is being prioritized by citizens, the government, and tourism experts.

If you’re curious about this critical initiative and other facets of the countries’ commitment to sustainability, make Belize your next vacation destination. Stay at a resort that devotes its tour schedule to showing off natural wonders protected by conservationists since all of these treasures can be found on the Belizean Dreams Resort menu.
Located in Hopkins, a laid-back town that’s home to descendants of a variety of indigenous people, Belizean Dreams guests not only have access to the reef, but to the town’s galleries, ethnic eateries, and businesses, some of which are run by descendants of the original Mayas who settled the area around 2500 BC. Further, Belizean Dreams Resort has garnered numerous awards by Tripadvisor travelers. Pretty impressive resume for a small resort, don’t you think?
