Belize Delays Re-Opening Due to COVID Spike
Destination & Tourism August 10, 2020
The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) has announced the country has delayed its reopening due to a spike in COVID cases.
The country is experiencing an increase in COVID-19 cases, and in a press conference held last week, the Prime Minister of Belize, Rt. Hon. Dean O. Barrow, in an overabundance of caution, announced that it was necessary to delay the re-opening of the Philip Goldson International Airport (BZE), which was scheduled for August 15, 2020.
"Ensuring that travellers have reliable, trustworthy, and useful information continues to be a top priority so they can make the best decisions for their health and safety when choosing a vacation destination. As such we encourage visitors to visit www.travelbelize.org often for current travel protocols and destination information," the minister said in a release.
The Prime Minister also said they are continually assessing risks and working with partners to create protocols to ensure a safe environment for residents and guests when international visitation resumes.
