Southwest Airlines to Fly Direct to Belize

Earlier this week there was grim news from Yahoo Travel that Belize is among the countries with the worst ports of call. Well, tonight there is positive information for the tourism industry as it relates to air travel. Southwest Airlines today announced that they have filed applications to begin service to six new destinations, including Belize. The service will originate from William P. Hobby Airport in Houston, Texas beginning in October 2015. According to the B.T.B., “the entry of Southwest Airlines promises to be a game changer for the tourism sector of Belize. The B.T.B. looks forward to welcoming Southwest Airlines as our newest industry partner in Belize and will continue to update all stakeholders on the progress of this exciting new development.”
