We’ve picked out the top choices for eco-tourism destinations throughout the world. Not only are these spots home to some of the rarest species of plants and animals, but a visit to them could help preserve their beauty for years to come.

Snorkelers and scuba divers will love the numerous underwater adventures waiting for them in Belize.

The Ten Best Airport Bars in the World- Jet’s Bar, Belize City, Central America
AN ISLAND IN BELIZE…………………
Time to hit the bar.
Airports all over the world are improving delayed flyers’ experiences by improving their drinking establishments. Frequent flyers no longer find themselves sitting in McDonald’s for 3 hours. Instead, they’re lounging on the rooftop of Singapore’s Terminal 3, drinking Thai beer or playing the oenophile at Frescobaldi’s Wine Bar in Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport.
Travelers routed through Portland take in local microbrews at Laurelwood Public House and Brewery and vacationers in Belize City International Airport hit the sauce in old-fashioned Caribbean style.
Everyone checking in should be eager to check out our favorite airport bars. Sure it’s the only bar in the place, but at least it treats its patrons with care. Mr. Jet, the owner, will set up a call from your departure get to make sure you don’t miss your flight.
