Belize Announces Phased Re-opening Plan for Tourism

Belize Announces Phased Re-opening Plan for Tourism | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Belize has an action plan for reopening for tourism.  The PGIA will reopen on the 15th of August, and many hotels will be certified by then.  

 

"Travelers to Belize will be comforted to know that based on proper management and containment efforts applied during the height of the pandemic, Belize was able to enjoy over 50 days of a Covid-19 free environment. Ongoing efforts will offer vacation opportunities with minimal risk of contracting Covid-19 while in Belize. In addition, with Belize having such low population density and being just a short flight away from most major US cities, the destination is well poised for post-Covid-19 travel. All travelers to Belize will be required to adhere to health and safety measures implemented by the Government of Belize (GOB) including social distancing, hand sanitization, proper hygiene and the wearing of face masks in public spaces."
