Safeguarding Belize: San Pedro Tour Guides Attend COVID Safety Workshop
In related news, the BTB’s Enhanced Health and Safety Training for Tour Guides took place last week in San Pedro. Held in conjunction with the San Pedro Tour Guide Association at the San Pedro Junior College, the two-day event looked at how to conduct tours while following globally recommended COVID-19 precautions and Tourism Gold Standard Protocols for Guides. Sixty-four guides, including those registered with the San Pedro Tour Guide Association, as well as other guides in the area participated. According to the BTB, guides play a vital role in safeguarding not only visitors, but the country, when tourists visit. The Belize Tourism Board says it will conduct similar sessions in our major tourism destinations countrywide over the next few weeks.
