The Chamber of Commerce and Industry today launched a promotional video documentary called Business in Paradise. The heads at the chamber who crafted it, say this will become the face and representation of Belize at trade shows worldwide. President Arturo "Tux" Vasquez explained what it will tell potential investors about Belize.

"Its just another video put together by the Chamber that relates more to the accessibility of people, the natural resources that we have in relation to doing business in Belize. We have given this video a name of 'Belize, Business in Paradise,' to sort of push the commercial side of doing business in Belize. The message of this video is really again the accessibility, the access to Belize by air, land, sea, the products that we are producing in Belize, the fact that we have BAHA in Belize so we can certify the exportation of certain products, the emphasis on the shrimp and tilapia industries. Its really on that, to show what we already have here that could be developed."
And while it is locally produced - the money for the video is from the British government's project for building commercial linkages with Guatemala.
