BTB Awards Scholarships For Tourism Degree Programs
 One ingredient for the continued growth and success of Belize's tourism industry is the availability of trained personnel with hospitality skills and tourism management capability.
In recognition of this need, the Belize Tourism Board awards yearly scholarships for tourism degree programs throughout the country. This year, seven students were awarded scholarships to attend educational institutions throughout Belize.
