As a tourist guide what motivates you about the profession?

Are We Truly Free from Slavery!

Morning colleagues.
Blessings for a wonderful day commemorating Emancipation back then in 1838. Remember we were never that important for them to have implemented it immediately after it was agreed.
I guess that was just to brainwash our ancestors, because when they, the 1%, crafted the “apprenticeship “, it was because they had updated slavery.

They figured a new way to continue with slavery. They continued the tradition to pit us against each other, getting into our heads a new way of how to keep the loyalty program enforced. For a few dollars more, giving us a supervisor in the workplace to carry out the mandate, bringing a “new version of the house slave/field slave mentality”.
They, the oligarchy, that 1% continued the control using a new method.
As colleagues, and professionals by trade, we need to focus in order to advance, support each other to bring us success. In the end, if believing that obsequiousness is the way to get by, then “freedom/independence ” is a folly.

There is STRENGTH in NUMBERS people, that’s how we change the status quo for our generations to come.

This is why BOPTG was birthed, to bring upliftment to the tourist guides who are the “field slaves” in the tourism industry of Belize, “you” are the “heart beat” in the chest cavity of the industry! not the tour operators,BTB/MOTAD/NICH and their staff/supervisors!

Support the organization to establish your presence and prominence!
Let it be known, that this also applies to the tour operators who are members, experiencing the same issues among themselves, become partners with your guides and colleague.

It only takes one to be honest with themselves. If you are planning to destroy the organization by being mischievous, then the decision is easy, because that’s not the aim nor is it the place.

I close by reiterating that the members who are desirous of fighting for their professional career are the ones the organization is committed to.
We, the management, are here to serve you the members with pride, enforcing transparency and accountability to build our brand.
We stand together so that the visitors we meet may “Experience Adventure, Expertly Guided!”

THE TOUR GUIDE PROFESSION: Tax and Worker Status.

Tourist /Tour Guides, do you know that:

1. Your emoluments or revenue derived are taxable under Income or Business Tax? (See reference as Annex),

2. Without a “License you cannot work as a “tourist /tour guide”?and

3. That your profession is NOT recognized within the Employment Laws of Belize and is frequently lumped up with Seasonal/casual workers at the will of the entity or persons who hire you?

Why does this matter to you as a tourist/tour guide?

Because BOPTG is an Organization with one of its primary objectives being to address the issues listed above for its members through representation by TUTASP (Trade Union for Tourism and Allied Service Professionals).

If you are a member that considers your career seriously, it will make a difference going forward.

You decide.

By BOPTG Management.
