ECOTOURISMWhy is Belize a good choice for an Eco-Friendly family vacation? The best answer is that it offers children a good mix of education and water fun. Of interest to parents and your pocket book is that most hotels in Belize give discounts for children under 12 years old and children under 4 years old are usually allowed to stay for free. Next, many of the resorts have specific children’s programs that include village arts and crafts, interpretive ecotrail programs and visits to Mayan ruins, canoe rides, traditional Mayan music, and butterfly sanctuary visits. Finally, children have opportunities to experience history, nature, culture, and adventure. The topmost reward for a family who takes an ecotour to Belize are lasting memories and teachable moments for the whole family to share.
