San Pedro, Belize: Trip Advisor #1 Destination in Central America

San Pedro, Belize, April 14, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Great news for San Pedro & Ambergris Caye, Belize coming from the worlds largest travel site, Trip Advisor this week. As millions of reviewers from around the world go through the process of ranking different destinations, hotels, resorts etc… Ambergris Caye, Belize has come out on top of yet another award: the 2016 #1 destination in Central America.

Trip Advisor #1 Destination in Central America

Although any award or recognition is always nice, the ones that come from Trip Advisor are especially important as they are not awarded by a single person or panel, they come from the traveller’s and expats who visit and love these respective destinations. Historically this sort of 3rd party validation not only gives recognition for the quality of a destination but also has a direct impact on future tourism growth as readers and visitors to the Trip Advisor site see this and make it a priority to check out the top destinations.

When new tourists come to the island it does more than just add more vibrance & friends; it also has a significant impact on real estate values within markets where the number 1 economic driver is the tourism industry. Many real estate investors like to extract the data on change in tourism to use this to their advantage, almost as if it was a crystal ball of appreciation or depreciation in property values. For example, if a market see’s a 10% increase in Tourism for a given year, we see an almost proportionate increase in the number of visitors looking to purchase a property whether it be a second home, vacation home, condo, land etc.. and generally with increased demand comes appreciation especially on an island where supply of land is finite.

Having been voted the #1 island in the world in back to back years this comes as a nice cherry on top for this beautiful tropical island in the Caribbean.
