BELMOPAN, BELIZE-Cendant Corp. subsidiary Wingate Inns International will open its first franchised hotel outside North America on a 125-acre parcel in Belmopan, the new capital of Belize. To be completed by mid 2004, the 100-room property will include an 18-hole golf course and will be marketed to both business and leisure travelers.

Gil Belisle owns the property along with investors Cecilia and John Faber, Ezekiel Velasquez, Lois Highsmith and Egbert Higinio. “We are very interested in marketing Belize’s rain forests and ancient ruins to the traveling public and providing city officials and visiting business people with an excellent place to stay,” Belisle says.
