Belize
is everything Costa Rica is purported to be, and much more. For
people looking for a young unspoiled nation, Belize has to be one of the
choicest travel / exploration / expatriate destinations imaginable. The
language is English. The people are friendly. The government is an absolute
anomaly for Central America. It is a true democracy, operating under the
parliamentary system it adopted from Great Britain (which until 1981 upheld
Belize in colonial status.) There is absolute freedom of the press. Little,
if any serious corruption. An intelligent attitude towards business and
an absolutely astounding respect for ecology. It is in our opinion a world
leader in its efforts to create a balance between tourism and sound principals
of ecology. If you want to live life without Big Brother; Belize is the
place to be.
There are few countries towards whom
we feel a greater degree of respect. Its tiny population is numerically
less than many of the world's cities. (Note that while the country of El
Salvador consists of approximately the same land area as Belize, El Salvador
contains thirty times as many people; with an overall population of almost
six million people compared with Belize's 200,000. ) Yet despite its small
population Belize manages to attract the worlds attention for its modern
attitudes, stable government and respectful treatment of its indigenous
peoples.
Lan Sluder is considered the
Bellze answer man and was been writing about Belize before anyone knew
there was such a place.
Aldous Huxley once said, that ".
. . If the world had any ends, [Belize] would certainly be one of them.
It is not on the way from anywhere to anywhere else. It has no strategic
value. It is all but uninhabited."
Huxley would be surprised by today's
world. If he were suddenly transported here tomorrow, he might be on his
way to Belize the day after. Perhaps for the very reasons he stated but
with a different value placed on them. Belize is terrific! Belize is like
nowhere else in the entire world and there is nothing with which to compare
it. It is as Huxley called it, exactly and to the letter. Ah, but what
he said yesterday sounds so great today. If you want to travel and
live the island life there is no cheaper more laid back place to do it.
Good telecommunications, a great
environment, real estate prices that are significantly lower than that
of Costa Rica, the best diving in the world, the second biggest barrier
reef in the world, a growing offshore tax haven sector, offshore corporate
services, developing offshore banking practices, a soon to be established
airport free trade zone, an international airport, an established free
trade zone at the border-city of Chetumal, close proximity to Cancun, an
archeological storehouse of Mayan Ruins (some still not totally explored),
a polyglot culture that lives in harmony, proximity to Mexico and the United
States, (the fact that we can actually drive from Belize to the United
States has some positive values, especially if you're headed for Belize.
The Pièce de résistance of course is the vast series
of Cayes (islands) some of which are available for purchase at prices that
are so reasonable they make you want to pack your bags and catch the next
plane.
It is difficult to think of a better
destination for the expatriate or the adventure-traveler seeking a place
to be free. Island Living in Belize by Lan Sluder is a 240-page
report on what you need to know about Ambergris Caye (Belize’s #1 destination
for travelers and expats), up-and-coming Caye Caulker, and Belize’s other
islands. How to get there. Where to stay. How to stretch your dollars and
save money. How to find the best deals in beachfront and sea view real
estate. How to retire under Belize’s “QRP” program or get permanent residency.
This eBook covers all of these practical details, and much, much more.
