Congratulations, Steph! She was celebrated by Women in Tourism for her achievements in the tourism industry. Well deserved recognition.
"WOW she is #unbelizeable meet our “One to Watch” Woman in Tourism Stephanie Elena. Stephanie grew up moving from one destination to another as a result of her father’s profession. By the age of 20, Stephanie had lived in 11 different destinations where she was able to experience the culture and uniqueness of various communities, which subsequently fostered her interest for tourism and travel. She is fluent in Spanish and English, with a good understanding of French as well. She graduated with a dual Bachelor’s Degree majoring in International Business and a Minor in Marketing from the University of Indianapolis (USA) and Galen University (Belize).
Since 2013, she has been working for the San Ignacio Resort Hotel, an award-winning luxury boutique hotel in Western Belize, and is currently the lead for their Marketing and Public Relations endeavors. Since 2017, Stephanie has been elected by tourism stakeholders to be part of the Board of Directors for the Belize Hotel Association-- a non-profit, NGO, and Belize’s oldest private sector tourism organization. She has been fulfilling the role of Secretary for the past 3 years.
Stephanie is also an active member and represents the BHA on the Belize Birding Festival committee, an international event in collaboration with the Belize Tourism Industry Association and Belize Audubon Society, that aims to encourage nature and birding activities in Belize. Although she specializes in trade, advertising, social media, branding, and content creation, her favourite specialty is connecting with public relation companies, journalists and media representatives in order to showcase her property as well as the adventures found within Belize."
