Golden Tree Reopens
Golden Tree, the newly renovated hotel here on Coney Drive, is back in business. Earlier this week, the Belize Tourism Board closed it down for infractions to hotel regulations contained in the Hotel and Tourists Accommodation Act. Golden Tree reportedly had not been making the mandatory hotel tax payments to the B.T.B. and after several warnings, B.T.B. personnel with the support of the police made their move. The report is that a significant amount of money was owed in unpaid hotel tax. Well, it seems that all has been settled, and the hotel has since re-opened.
