Belize’s High Risk COVID Status Has Not Resulted in Tourism Cancellations

Abil Castaneda

Castaneda says that despite the “high risk” classification that Belize has received, it has not and hopefully will not negatively impact our tourism arrivals.

“The reality is that up to today we have not really received any sort of negative impact from our industry or any sort of cancellations and we believe that that will continue based on the trends that we saw in January with Omicron when that wave happened. We believed we would have had a more drastic impact at that time but that didn’t necessarily materialize, so we are very optimistic, but it’s part of the realities that we continue to face. We’re also inviting some of the top influencers on social media to Belize to keep Belize and its brand as a part of top of mind. This is the market that we are currently working and we try to strive on so these are the ways in which we seek to minimize the impact, if any on an advisory like this.”
