BETEX Format enhanced with Decentralized Marketplaces

Decentralized marketplace sessions allow for more direct interaction between agents and suppliers in the destinations. Qualified Suppliers operating anywhere in Belize can select one marketplace venue for setup (either San Pedro, Placencia or Cayo).
Three different groups of trade visitors will visit each marketplace each morning for three days (Days 2, 3 and 4). This rotation format will allow all suppliers the opportunity to meet all the registered trade participants in all nine groups (approximately 90 buyers and 90 supplier companies for a 1:1 ratio).
BETEX makes every effort to showcase as many Belize destinations as possible. The Opening Night will be held in Belize City, and Closing events will be held in BTIA chapter destinations not utilized as a marketplace venue, such as Hopkins, Dangriga, Toledo, Corozal, Orange Walk and Caye Caulker (to be determined based on the amount of registered suppliers from these destinations).
