BTB and Cruise Partners Host Annual Holiday Party for Belize City Children

Over 70 children from three different schools were feeling the Christmas spirit today as they sang, danced, and cheered at the annual Children’s Holiday Gift Party. This community-focused event is a collaborative effort between The Belize Tourism Board (BTB), The Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA), local cruise tourism stakeholders, and tour operators, and aims to celebrate the holiday season by bringing joy to children from across Belize City. This underscores a successful public-private partnership model, demonstrating how tourism revenues and partnerships are directly reinvested into local communities. At the Shindig, Lloyd Enriquez, Director of Cruse and Capacity Development at the Belize Tourism Board spoke with Love News, sharing the importance of these events.
