What You Should Know About Belize Connection And The Country

By Gwen Lowe


Belize is an English speaking country located in Central America. It is bordered by Guatemala, Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. The country used to be a territory of the United Kingdom, but now it is independent. Many tourists travel there every year, and many people from the United States and Canada choose to retire there. The website Belize connection shares a lot of information about the place and advertises many of its business services.

English is the principle language in the country, due to its British heritage. It is the only English speaking country in Central America. However, there are other languages in the culture as well, including Spanish, German and Kriol, with many different dialects throughout the country.

There are more than three hundred thousand residents in the country including Mayans, East Indians, Mestizo, Arabs and Chinese. There are also many expatriates from Canada, the United States and Europe who choose to retire there because of the low cost of living and warm weather.

The average yearly temperature there is around 84 F. Breezes from the Caribbean Sea as well as the jungle and rainforests help to keep the temperatures from getting too hot in the summer months. The winters tend to be very short as well, lasting from November to March. It is very rare for the temperature there to fall below 60 F. The dry season lasts between February and May which means lower rainfall in the country than the rest of the year.

The wettest season tends to be between June and December. During this time certain parts of the country can receive almost two hundred inches of rain. Sometimes there are wild storms which originate from the Caribbean Sea. The most rainfall normally happens in June or July.

The first people to settle in the land were the Mayans around the time 1500 B. C. The Mayans established many settlements there, and the pyramids that they built can still be seen today. The first Europeans came there in 1502 when Christopher Columbus sailed there during one of his voyages.

The cabinet is led by a Prime Minister, who is the head of government and acts as an advisor to the Governor-General. Cabinet ministers are usually members of a political party which sits in parliament. They usually hold their elected seats concurrent to the cabinet positions.

The website was founded by Terese Fegan who was born there but resides with her husband in Florida. Although she works for the State of Florida as an Administrative Assistant in the Circuit Courts, Terese still considers herself to be entrepreneur. Her specialization is business advertising for Belizean businesses, in order to help these companies receive exposure in the global market. Her company also offers business referral services as well as social media consultations.
