Belize is an up-and-coming country for the call center industry because it is the only Central American nation where English is the official language. As such, Belize is an excellent choice for English and bilingual call center outsourcing services. The call center industry in Belize is valued at $400 million, and it employs more than 3,000 call center employees. Belize is effectively tapping this market and bringing in more US companies to outsource their customer service needs for an excellent customer experience at a much lower cost.

The most significant advantage of outsourcing call center services to Belize is the cost savings involved. And since English is the official language of Belize, and the country’s time zone is the Central Standard Time, Belizean call center agents make a natural fit for US companies.
There is a high unemployment rate in Belize, but as with many other Central American countries, outsourced call centers there create many jobs that otherwise wouldn’t exist. It’s a mutual benefit for both US companies and the talented, but underemployed, population of Belize.
