Nine wants to show the world our country in varied ways. We want for people to be immersed in all the richness that this country is. Our people are consistently being trained and immersed ... moreinto the fabric of the cloth that is the country that we want to share with the world so we know.
This two-part episode is an in-depth discussion about the history and diversity of the people of Belize. Our guest, Joe Awe, is a Belizean sociocultural activist and naturalist. He is one of the most renowned experts on indigenous cultures in Belize. His initiation into tourism started in 1997 working with the School for International Training (Vermont) where he was a part of educational tourism – at that time fairly new in Belize. He later was hired to work as a guide at the Lodge at Chaa Creek, where he helped with the resort’s development for 12 years. This is where he truly fell in love with tourism and the art of telling the Belize story.
