Belize's premier eco resort is offering an all expense paid, all inclusive Belize adventure vacation package for writers submitting the best 300 word piece about responsible travel, and explaining why they would choose Chaa Creek Belize as their ecotourism destination.
Chaa Creek's marketing advisor Larry Waight said the purpose of the competition was to generate ideas, thoughts and creative descriptions of responsible travel as a way to promote environmental and socially aware tourism.
"We take responsible travel very seriously at Chaa Creek, but in the spirit of fun, adventure and with an appreciation of luxury and the finer things in life. Feedback from our guests has played a big part in our green development over the years, and we thought this would be a good way to get the word out while rewarding a creative approach to responsible travel," Mr Waight said.
The Lodge at Chaa Creek, Belize's first and most highly awarded eco resort, is situated in a 365acre private nature reserve nestled in pristinerain-forestin The Heartland of the Maya.

In entering the competition, writers are asked to give free rein to their creativity and may use various forms of expression including prose, poems, songs, stories and fables. Photographic displays and videos, multi media and alternative art forms are also acceptable as entries.
"We're looking forward to seeing creative stories, travel videos, and photographic displays that illustrate the spirit and practicalities of responsible tourism," Mr Waight said.
