Global Liman İşletmeleri considers buying tourist port in Belize
A port in Belize is among three destinations that are reportedly to be acquired by a Turkish-based group. An article in the Hurriyet Daily News based in Istanbul suggests that the Global Liman Işletmeleri, which is the port administration unit of Global Investment Holdings, is considering the purchase of the tourism ports in Belize and Roatan off the coast of Honduras. According to the article, Global Yatirim Holding is reporting that it recently initiated talks to purchase the two ports. Locally, the tourism port is the area managed jointly by Fort Street Tourism Village and Diamonds International of Florida, which serves up to eight hundred and fifty thousand cruise passengers annually. News Five could not verify if the tourism facility is up for sale since we were told the Fort Street Operations Manager, James Nisbet, was out office.
sell the ports and it’s just a matter of time and belize will become a terrorist heaven.
Is this really something that will benefit the country or another opportunity for a chosen few to make money?. Are the profits made from our ports going to be reinvested in our country or shipped to a Lebanese or U.A.E bank. Will the businesses where tourists spend their money be like the ones on our major streets; owned by foreigners or held in the iron clad grip of people who make no real effort to be a part of our culture & treat us like ignorant peasants? Was the story a few nights ago about the port in the south used to soften us up to the fact that we are about to be bent over again?
We are no longer a colony & we need to lose the colonial mentality.
The Government of Belize need to stop selling our tourist attractions.This the reason why our economy can’t grow because everything in Belize is own by foreigners and these people send the money they make in Belize back to their country.
I hope America is paying attention, Belize could become a haven for terrorist. If they think the gang problem is bad, they have not trouble like the turks can bring. Even teh turks knows that Belize is easy mark. Stop looking at the almighty dollar at the expense of the natives. Do you think a Belizean could own a piece of Turkey. NOOOOOOOO.
