CNN’s recent acknowledgment of the “World of the Maya” as one of the top nine travel destinations for 2012 is one more indication that Belize’s year of the Maya 2012 celebrations are set to be a big hit with international visitors, Belize’s premier eco resort Chaa Creek reports.

The Lodge at Chaa Creek, Belize’s eco resort in the Heartland of the Maya, has invited filmmaker George Lucas to take part in their 2012 – Maya Perspectives lecture series and grand celebrations planned for the 2012 Winter Solstice on December 21, 2012.
