What is the culture of Placencia, Belize?
Boris Mannsfeld - Boris Mannsfeld & Associates
Placencia has a very diverse international group of people who interact very well and who are very open-minded. People here enjoy the ocean, the jungle, the beautiful weather, the relaxation in Placencia, and the fact that everyone seems to get along very well.
Placencia is very westernized now. Being that we have a lot of tourists who come down here, the people of Placencia are now very well adapted because it is a tourist community. As a North American or European, there is...

As a North American or European, there is nothing you can do that would be normal in your home country that they will find odd because people are now up to European and American ways of doing things.

There is an annual film festival put on by Francis Ford Coppola, who has a project about 10 minutes away from ours.

From our perspective, were working on a couple of things like an annual musical festival. Were also building an amphitheater and having multiple entertainers come to Placencia. Several months ago, we had Clint Black come into our project for vacation. He came into our restaurant and sang for two hours straight. He’s just one of the nicest guys.
From a cultural perspective, Belize definitely needs some work, but every year, the Belize Tourism Board is doing a good job working with the different projects down there, especially by improving the culture and adding more to what Belize already has. You do not go to Belize to see a Broadway play. You come to Belize for its beauty of the people, the bird life, the fishing. The emphasis is more on nature, but the culture will improve because different resorts are taking the responsibility to work on that from their perspective.
