The Belize Tourism Board is engaging Belize’s artistic community for a competition centered on the upcoming celebration of World Tourism Day 2023. The Belize Tourism Through Art competition launched this week and is challenging artists ages sixteen years and older, to use various means to capture the theme “Tourism and Green Investments” while showcasing Belizean culture and landscape. Phylicia Pelayo, Marketing/Communications Associate with the BTB, said that, apart from the five-thousand-dollar cash prize for the winner, there will also be an art exhibit launched for those who were shortlisted, to give their work exposure.
