Responsible tourism conference in Belize: Postponed

By Olly Wheatcroft - 07 Mayl 2009

I have just read on Planeta that the Responsible Tourism Conference in Belize is going to be postponed due to the travel restrictions resulting from Swine Flu.

Writing in the Planeta Forum, Kenrick Theus, Director of the International Centre for Responsible Tourism - Belize: "Today it is clear that with many countries having banned all but essential travel to Mexico and the government of Belize having banned public meetings we have no choice but to postpone the conference to a date later in the year. No confirmed cases have been detected in Belize to date however regional authorities, the local government and the Belize Ministry of Health are currently engaged in precautionary measures to abate the spread of virus."

Please watch this space for news on when the conference will be rescheduled as we will be in touch with ICRT to find out more details.
