PACT has officially launched the Tourism Enhancement in Protected Areas Program. Today, three conservation organizations were selected to receive support under the program. They are the Belize Audubon Society, the Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association, and the Belize Karst Habitat Conservation. The initiative is designed to enhance visitor experiences within protected areas while ensuring that conservation and sustainable management remain a priority. We spoke with Conservation Investment Manager Robbin Burns who explained how this will benefit especially with sustainable tourism:
The selected organizations manage several of Belize's most important ecosystems, including marine reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, and cave systems.
