Belize City, Monday, March 29th, 2010 - For the very first time Belize was able to say ‘present’ at the Caribbean Bridal Expo and Marketplace. From Saturday March 27th to Sunday the 28th San Juan Puerto Rico was the place to be at as over 12,000 visitors and 450 wedding professionals came together for this magnum event.  Representing the Belize Tourism Board were Marketing Officers Melecia Banks and Michelle Bowers.

With over ten years of experience the Caribbean Bridal Expo has managed to place itself as the greatest and most influential bridal market in the Caribbean. The CBE seeks to connect an audience of serious buyers and sellers of wedding planning and services. The Bridal Expo’s aim is to get under one roof, all the information, tips, services and advice couples, event planners and industry suppliers in the United States and the Caribbean Islands need to put together that big day. With that in mind, thousands of soon- to -be wed couples made their way to the Puerto Rico Convention Center to access over 450 exhibitors showcasing wedding services and destinations with everything they would need for their wedding,  and honeymoon.

While at the Caribbean Bridal Expo the BTB hosted innumerable couples seeking information on the destination and honeymoon opportunities, locales and packages. In addition, the BTB had the opportunity to meet with a few wedding planners who specialize in destination weddings and sought Belize as an ideal destination. Belize has the opportunity to develop new markets as a versatile, year-round destination that can cater to different expectations especially for those seeking a unique experience for that big day or that prefect, romantic honeymoon.
