Is July Too Soon?
posted (May 8, 2020)
And some eager travellers are already paying for their plane tickets to Belize. The airlines are taking reservations for July second - so who gave them that idea? That's what we asked the PM:

Jules Vasquez
"International airlines are now taking bookings I see for early July flights into Belize and so is that as a product of communication with someone in authority? Is that a date that you all are looking or are they just being speculative?"

Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow - Prime Minister
"I believe now that they are aiming for a July date, again, aspirationally, is to coincide with the end of the state of emergency which of course is to take place at the conclusion of the month of June, but that's where it is. They have put this, I suspect they did put this to the BTB who would be authorized to say no more than well that sounds good aspirationally, but of course it is government that would have to decide whether or not to allow this to happen, whether or not to open the borders."
