Tourism is most likely the best business opportunity in Belize. It is the largest industry in the country, with more than 700,000 tourists visiting the country every year. A large profit can be made from this, since these tourists will need food, a place to stay, and tour guides. Every year, between $174.7 million and $292.9 million are made off of tourists.

Aquiculture
Aquiculture is one of the best business opportunities in Belize. Aquiculture is the raising of marine or fresh water livestock. This livestock can be sold both locally and as exports to other countries. Included with this is fish-farming. Fish farming is a type of fishing where large nets are placed offshore in order to catch fish. Both aquiculture and fish farming are great business opportunities in Belize.

Oil
Oil is also one of the best business opportunities in Belize. In March of 2006, a large quantity of oil was found in Belize. This made great profits when it was exported to many countries. Recently, another well was discovered in early 2010 with another large amount of oil in it. This oil has still not been dug up, but it will make for a great business opportunity when it is exported.
