In a statement issued on Friday, BTIA (Cayo) said that recent rains have further deteriorated road conditions on the eve of the tourism high season.

With bad roads leading to many of the highly sought after tourism sites in the Cayo District, BTIA is concerned that the it could deter visitors and result in huge financial loss for tourism stakeholders.

The BTIA (Cayo) statement names the road to Barton Creek Cave, the Mountain Pine Ridge road and the road leading to the Cahal Pech archaeological site as areas that require immediate attention and repair.
