Real Estate Tourism.

A new topic of Interest to a growing number of travelers who wish to explore other countries for Investment. Costa Rica has been popular but now many other countries close to the US by a few hours flight are making their mark on the Xpat and Retirement trends. In many cases you can afford to Retire much sooner than you would have and even often have much cheaper health care and overhead than if you try to do it on what's left of you Social Security benefits or Medi-Cal.

You want to travel to another country but the only info you can seem to find is about specific Resorts, Tours, Lodging, and Transportation. So how do you plan an affordable trip when you want to move all around the country looking at Real Estate?

This is why the idea of Real Estate Tours is growing in popularity.

There are many who already appreciate the benefits of Investments Offshore and especially in the area of Real Estate.

As a Real Estate Sales person, it's very hard to spend extra time needed for this purpose. It's also a lot of expense that more often than not is not reimbursed. But if you have your clients jump on a tour, what assurance do you have that they won't get waylaid off to someone else's development or time share? The correct answer is none. Here lies a dynamic opportunity for someone who can find a way to achieve the service without compromising ethics.

I'm an Agent from the US who now works in Belize. Belize has become popular more and more for several very powerful reasons. It's english speaking, very close to the US, Has incredible beauty, And has the Barrier Reef running along it's coastline. Add this fact to it being a commonwealth country, part of the caribbean community, a latin american country, has strong relations to the US, Canada, England, and growing popularity with Australia, South Africa, Norway, China, India, and most the free world.

Most people when they come, see Belize as a Pearl to be protected and guided. It's a young country that only gained it's independence in 1981. Few realize how amazingly rich the history of Belize is. A great starter book for that would be "Caribbean" by James A, Mitchener.

I truly believe that the multi-cultural environment and resilience of it's peoples precludes a destiny for Belize. That path is as an "International Hosting Community". I see how the importance of the relationships between man and nature here dictates the need to design the commerce around these facts. Belize could and most likely will be an example of man living with nature. Of protecting it's natural resources, of carrying these messages to the rest of the world. Holding conferences and educational Events.

Much of the attraction is that it's still a bit raw and frontier like. This is the rich and fertile environment that makes for rare and profitable opportunities.
