Blackbird Caye, Belize. Mike Baird.
Who would have thought it could happen? Belize Tourism Board is finally thinking outside the box! As I read the article explaining the upcoming partnership between MatadorU and the Belize Tourism Board (BTB), I couldn't contain my excitement. Belize tourism is finally taking the bull by its horns and instead following old methods of marketing, is attempting new media! This new program will be called the Road Warriors Program and it will basically cover all travel expenses and salaries for top notch bloggers and photographers interested in coming to Belize. Sounds like a sweet deal, right?


The full story follows below and it can be found on the Matadornetwork.


How it works
Exceptional graduates from MatadorU's writing and photography programs will travel to Belize for multi-month assignments. There they’ll have all travel expenses paid, plus a salary, in order to establish themselves as writers/photographers in-residence.


Each participant will have an investigative focus area such as Mayan culture, music, diving, or environmental issues, and produce articles and multimedia both for BTB and across Matador channels, as well as for other media outlets.
