Belize‘s slogan is “A Curious Place” and is known worldwide for diving with the Belize Barrier Reef and the surrounding Cayes (low-lying islands). It is located on the eastern coast of Central America. It also has jungle areas that have ancient Mayan ruins like Caracol. It has diversity in both its ecosystems and its cultures. With English being the official language (the only country in Central America that can make that claim), tourists will have no problem.

貝里斯的口號是「A Curious Place（一個神秘的地方）」，該地以能於貝里斯堡礁和周圍的珊瑚礁小礁島（低窪島嶼）地區潛水而聞名於世。 它位於中美洲的東海岸。 貝里斯還有叢林地區，這些地區有古老的瑪雅文化遺產，如卡拉科爾（英語：Caracol ）。 它的生態系統和文化都具多樣性，供觀光客不停去發掘。貝里斯還是中美洲唯一 以英文為官方語言的英語系國家，因此遊客可以放心去玩，不怕語言不通的問題。

Guatemala is called the ” Heart of the Mayan World” with its solid cultural fusion of Mayan, Spanish and Afro-Caribbean cultures. There are 3000 Mayan archaeological sites to explore. There are 33 volcanoes in Guatemala (with 3 of them still active). Volcano Tajumulco (Volcán Tajumulco) is the highest point in all of Central America. The country is divided into the mountainous Highlands, the Pacific Coast and the Peten region (Petén Department). These areas each have their own unique geography and climates.

Hondurans say, “Everything is Here,” and that sounds quite true. Roatan (Roatán), which is 65km from the northern coast of Honduras, is known for its beaches and for its diving sites (120 of them). It is located right near the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef (the second-largest barrier reef in the world). Clear waters, shipwrecks (Halliburton Wreck is the most famous), and the incredible marine species are a divers‘ paradise! And for those who love to walk along the white sand beach, the sunsets are super memorable.

宏都拉斯人一致認同「Everything is Here（一切都在這裡）」的口號，而這口號描繪當地的實情。羅阿坦島 （Roatán）距離宏都拉斯北部海岸 65 公里，以其海灘和120 個潛水景點聞名。 它位於世界第二大堡礁的中美洲大堡礁系统（又稱「中美洲珊瑚礁」）附近。 宏都拉斯清澈的海水、沉船遺跡（其中矣哈里伯頓沈船「 Halliburton Wreck」為最著名）和令人難以置信的眾多海洋生物種是潛水員的天堂。 對於那些喜歡沿著白色沙灘海岸漫步的遊客來說，日落的美景是超級令人畢生難忘。
