The public relations officer of the Belize Tourism Board, Mrs. Linette Canto, joins us in this episode to discuss some of the preparations being made in Belize, including the development of new policies and procedures and capacity building of local tourism stakeholders. The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) is the governing body of Belize’s tourism industry, with a primary mandate of marketing the destination both locally and internationally. In our phone conversation, Linette recaps Belize’s recently booming tourism industry as we recorded more than half a million overnight arrivals in 2019. She also gives us a brief overview of some of the marketing outreach they have been doing to keep the destination top of mind for when travel resumes. Belize has been declared Covid-19-free since May 11 after having recorded no new cases for 28 days.
