Belize City, Belize – March 27, 2012 – Belize was once again chosen as an international first pick, this time topping the list of perfect destinations for diving and snorkeling. On March 24th, 2012 ‘The National’, one of the few English newspapers based in the United Arab Emirates, with a circulation of over 40,000 and supporting 200 staff writers posted across the globe, nominated Belize as the second best snorkeling location in the world.
According to the newspaper, “The Hol Chan Marine Reserve is perfect for a day trip for snorkeling at the reef while observing a wide variety of fish including jacks, snappers and barracudas. You can spot turtles gliding, dolphins playing nearby and manatees swimming and congregating in the grassy sea beds.”
This rating is now being added to a list of accolades Belize has received for snorkeling and diving. “This has been a really great year for us, because this top 10 nomination for snorkeling comes on the heels of our beaches being ranked 7th, 8th, and 9th in Central America by Trip Advisor, the world's largest internet travel website,” said Yanick Dalhouse, Director of Marketing and Industry Relations for the Belize Tourism Board. “These awards are absolutely fantastic and only validate what Belizeans have been raving about for years.”

i would have to agree.
.if.
it were the fact that the enviroment , including the reef , were being well taken care of....
but....we have ''sustainable developement'', as the new main focus....,the new future....
unfortunately tho...''sustainable developement''....so far, has not enhanced the ecology of the reef...rather, has damaged it...,
and if it continues...
there will come a time when the tourist draw...will be to see....what mankind's greed, has ''left'' behind....
another great dead reef system....
ALL HAIL - FORIEGN INVESTMENT PROFIT MARGINE....[ouch]
YES I WOULD AGREE...AND WILL AGREE....
WHEN ''SUSTAINABLE ECOLOGY'' , IS THE FOCUS THAT LASTS....TO PROTECT THE REEF...TO BENIFIT THE FUTURE OF THE BELIZEAN PEOPLE....AND THE WORLD.
THANKS TO ALL WHO SEEK TO PROTECT , WHAT IS LEFT OF OUR PLANNET
