THE CONSULATE OF BELIZE
IN FLORIDA
Resources
Your business, our support
The principal mission of the Consulate of Belize in Florida is the promotion and protection of the interest and welfare of Belizeans residing or transiting through the United States—especially in the state of Florida. In addition to supporting tourism, the Consulate actively encourages trade, investment, and economic engagement with Belize.
As part of our commitment to fostering growth within the Belizean diaspora, we offer several valuable programs and resources:
Belize Business Directory
We proudly support Belizean entrepreneurs through our Business Directory, designed to promote economic development and visibility for diaspora-owned businesses. Listings are shared free of charge on our website and featured in our monthly newsletter, providing exposure to a wide audience. We encourage you to take full advantage of this opportunity.
