Belize Hotels and Resorts Amongst The Best In The World

On the night of the Oscar's (Feb 22, 2009) I thought it would be fun to share some great news about how Belize ranked in the 2009 Traveler's Choice Awards!

TripAdvisor's 2009 Travelers’ Choice Awards has recognied Belize as having some of the best hotels and resorts in the world.  Some of the Traveler Choice Awards categories that Belize was recognized for are:

• All inclusives resorts
  
• Luxury resorts
  
• Hidden gems resorts
  
• Romance resorts
  
• Family travel resorts
  
• Best bargin resorts 
  

In total nine hotels and resorts were recognized in TripAdvisor's poll.

So what does this mean for Sanctuary Bay investors?  In my opinion, such great press re-assures me that there is growing demand for the "Belize experience" and this demand holds well for Sanctuay Bay property owners:

• The tourist industry in Belize is still in its infancy and this ranking certainly reinforces the fact that Belize is approaching the developmen of their tourism industry in the right way.  Already it is being recognized as a top destination.
• As more people explore Belize there may be greater demand for owning property in the country -- thus driving up property values even more for investors who are 'getting in' during phase 1 and phase 2 of Sanctuary Bay.
• For those of us who are planning on building our homes sooner rather than later and renting out our places, there seems to be an existing and growing market for high quality resorts/homes.  

All this to say, the reports that argue that Belize is an undervalued and up-and-coming destination seem to be bang on!
