BCCI Hosts 29th Edition of Expo Belize Market Place

The Belize Chamber of Commerce & Industry (BCCI) says it is celebrating another successful staging of the Expo Belize Market Place, which wrapped up its 29th edition this past weekend at the Marion Jones Sports Complex in Belize City.

Despite periods of rain, more than 6,500 visitors attended the two-day event on September 13 and 14. That figure, however, represents a dip compared to last year, when the BCCI reported over 10,000 attendees. Still, exhibitors and organizers kept the energy high, ensuring that the country’s largest trade and consumer show retained its vibrant atmosphere.

This year’s Expo continued to provide businesses with opportunities to connect with new audiences, expand their reach, and showcase the quality, creativity, and innovation of Belize’s entrepreneurial community. The BCCI highlighted its “Triple C Philosophy”, to Connect, Capacitate, and Champion, as the foundation of the event’s impact.

As part of the annual Best Booth Competition, several exhibitors were recognized for their creativity and innovation. The winners were:

• Best Overall Booth – Belize Healthcare Partners Ltd.

• Most Outstanding Up & Coming Entrepreneur – Zesty Squeeze

• Best Micro Booth – HEYABBZ

• Youngest Entrepreneur – Crafty Fingers
