Sometimes there is value from outside opinions.
A tourist made a serious suggestion to me several weeks ago that didn't sound at all like the normal silly tourist remark.
He said It was a shame that Belize City had the same name as the country of Belize and that when the world heard the name Belize it made an association for the whole country.
His suggestion was change the name of Belize City to something other than Belize.
That sounds a little strange at first but think about it, the question of safety and violent crime against tourist is on their minds because of this negative Belize publicity. They don't realize its not typical of the country of Belize and contained in this one harbor town in Central America that's isolated from the majority.
Changing the name of the city won't solve the crime problems but it truly might separate the countrys reputation from this arm pit.
