Black-Owned Firms Encouraged To Do Business In Belize

Tri-County International Chamber of Commerce (TCICC) - the international arm of Tri-County Black Chamber of Commerce has officially declared the small English speaking country in Central America - Belize, a trading country for Black Business Enterprises in the U.S. and the Diaspora.

TCICC, headquartered in Houston, Texas - an international hub, mission is to facilitate the development and preparedness of micro and small business enterprises seeking export and import opportunities in new global markets.

"Our goal is to increase the number and capability of Black Business Enterprises to engage in international trade by choosing a country, where reliable relationships and alliances could be forged, and profitable opportunities exist. We found our trading country south of Mexico, east of Guatemala, bordered by the Caribbean Sea, 2 1/2 hours flight time from Houston, and affectionately known as nature's best kept secret - Belize," says TCICC President and CEO, Leondria Thompson.

In a perpetual effort to promote international trade, TCICC will lead an International Bilateral Trade Mission delegation to Belize, June 21 thru June 25, 2010. This extensive mission encourages new and veteran entrepreneurs to do business internationally and trade with Belize. "We encourage all Black business owners to form strategic partnerships, joint-ventures, and make worthwhile investments in other countries, starting in Belize," Thompson states.

The 5 day and 4 night mission will cover three districts of Belize, which includes the capitol city - Belmopan, where meetings will be held with business counterparts, Government officials, Government Agencies, and U.S. Embassy officials for trade and commerce support. Mission delegates will participate in business match meetings, experience cultural exchanges and formulate an international network of resources.
