Singapore Airlines is to increase its stake in Virgin Australia with the acquisition of another 9.9 per cent, which will take its holding to 19.9 per cent. The strategic stake will be acquired through the purchase of shares held by the Virgin Group. Singapore Airlines will purchase 255.5 million shares at 48 Australian cents per share for a total consideration of A$122.6 million. The purchase is, of course, subject to approval from Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board.

Belize « The Road Ahead Lifestyle (bRACQ/b)

Belize shares its borders with Mexico in the north, Guatemala to the south and west, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. Offering visitors a diverse range of experiences, Belize is a sanctuary for tourists.

Famous for its stunning environment, bird-watchers flock to Central American jungles in the hopes of spotting toucans, while others snorkel through the clear blue ocean, in search of colourful coral, fish, turtles and even dolphins. Inland, the ruins at Altun ha and Lamanai are two sites of cultural significance to the ancient Maya population.

Belize culture is an intriguing blend of its British colonial heritage and Mexican and Caribbean influences. The local cuisine is a delicious combination of all of these influences, with Conch Soup being one of the country’s most traditional dishes.
