“NIME Belize is hosting the first International Women’s Forum in Belize. This is the ninth regional forum in Central America and the Dominican Republic. We will have delegates from the different organizations of women in business in Central America and the Dominican Republic, as well as different partners in the U.S. and Mexico. Together, we hope to have a large network of women in business collaborating and forming partnerships and showcasing their products and services. The forum will be happening on November ninth. We will start with a forum with different presentations, addressing challenges and opportunities in the tourism sector, specifically addressing the different gender gaps and the challenges and the different opportunities that women have. And also we will have an expo for women in business, the same ninth of November during the night. And of course, also we are having a master class with our members and different participants from the international delegation to talk about gender equity, specifically in the tourism sector.”
