			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you searching among Belize hotels for the perfect destination?  Want to travel to Belize for the ecotourism adventure of a lifetime? On a  steep bank of the beautiful Macal River, Eco-friendly Mystic River  Resort offers the best of all worlds to those who travel to Belize. In  this oasis of privacy, serenity and rejuvenation, there are no crowds,  just the soothing sound of birds, rustling trees and soft breezes.  Mystic River Resort, located in the jungle of Belize, 7 miles from the  twin towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena, is the best place to find the  perfect something – or nothing – to do. Our friendly staff will strive  to make your stay with us a wonderful experience.</p>
<p>Mystic River  Resort offers a relaxed brand of Central American ecotourism. In Belize,  ecological awareness is becoming increasingly important, and at Mystic  River, it is very important to us. We take pride in the fact that we  generate our own electricity without sacrificing the small luxuries life  has to offer. We also collect and purify our own water, which is safe  to drink anywhere on the property. As part of a reforestation program,  we have endeavored to replant many indigenous trees cut down during the  logging years in Belize. Hotels may have fancy lobbies and high-rise  views, but at Mystic River, we’re returning to nature – in comfort and  style!  <strong><a href="http://www.mysticriverbelize.com/" target="_blank">Visit Website</a></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not long after, I met my wife, Roeni, and we  decided we wanted to  live somewhere that always has the feeling of a  tropical vacation so I  found this mountainous jungle/bush. Hmm, where  else can you get away  from the hustle of town but not too far and relax some  20 hours of the  day? In(n) The Bush!</p>
<p>This leads me to the next question—why a  resort? Firstly, resort isn’t really  a word to describe us but neither  is lodge but anyway . . . We live here and  love it, but decided that we  are too young to just retire in this paradise and  the bones were  getting achy from too much lounging around in the sun. So  with that we  decided to take on the task (which is not work if you enjoy  doing it  like we did) of getting this place underway. <a href="http://www.innthebushbelize.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Visit Website</strong></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Incorporated on May 13th, 1998, Provident Bank &amp; Trust of Belize  Limited was established with Class ‘A’ license to provide international  banking services to non-residents. It became the pioneer and leader in  international banking services in Belize and has evolved into a globally  competitive international bank.</p>
<p>Three years later on January 2,  2001, the Alliance Bank of Belize Limited was incorporated to undertake  domestic banking to residents of Belize. ABBL’s entrance in the market  was historic for Belize in that for the first time, Belizeans could  save, borrow and invest in a local bank which would channel funds  invested right back in the country. The bank shaped its operations  around policies and goals aimed at encouraging the growth of local  businesses and building Belize by offering the best savings and loan  rates on the market.</p>
<p>Both institutions shared common shareholders  and in 2006 a decision was made for Provident Bank &amp; Trust of Belize  Limited to acquire majority shareholding in the Alliance Bank of Belize  Limited. In October 2008, the process of integration within the  regulatory and legal framework began and, in January of 2009, we  commenced the physical changes necessary to fully integrate all  functions. We have since integrated all functions to benefit from  synergies, resulting in one Board of Directors, one Management Team, and  one staff complement body.</p>
<p>As part of a fresh image and new  beginning, the names of both banks were changed effective January 1st,  2010. The name Provident Bank &amp; Trust of Belize Limited was changed  to <em>Heritage International Bank &amp; Trust Limited</em> and Alliance Bank of Belize Limited was changed to <em>Heritage Bank Limited</em>.    <a href="http://www.heritageibt.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Visit Website</strong></a></p>
