A Message from the Director
At Elevate Training Institute (ETI), we are proud to be the newly rebranded capacity-building arm of the Belize Tourism Board (BTB), a platform designed with purpose, strategy, and long-term vision.
Our mission is rooted in the strategic direction of the National Sustainable Tourism Master Plan, which recognizes that sustainable growth in Belize’s tourism sector begins with a skilled, empowered, and resilient workforce. ETI was created to fulfill this mission, providing consistent, industry-relevant training that meets the evolving needs of both today’s and tomorrow’s tourism professionals.
As the demand for high-quality service continues to rise, Elevate is committed to delivering accessible and affordable programs across hospitality, culinary arts, and tourism management. By doing so, we aim to raise standards across all touch points of the visitor experience, from front-line service to back-of-house operations.
Through partnerships with both local and international institutions, Elevate bridges global best practices with Belizean talent and context. Whether you’re just entering the industry, advancing your career, or pivoting into tourism from another field, ETI offers a clear, credible pathway to personal and professional growth.
This isn’t just about courses, it’s about building a culture of excellence and ensuring sustainable continuity in Belize’s most vibrant economic sector. Together, we are investing in people, elevating the experience, and strengthening the foundation of tourism in Belize for generations to come.
