Tourism stakeholders get special permission to pick up tourists after curfew

By BBN Staff: The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) announced today that tourism stakeholders transporting tourists from the Philip Goldson International Airport (PGIA) will have special permission to transport passengers beyond curfew hours (8:00 p.m.).

The BTB explained that United Airlines is scheduled to begin its Chicago-Belize seasonal flight on Saturday, January, 9th, 2021, which has an arrival time of 6:50 pm. The BTB said that, given the late arrival time, the passenger itinerary for the Chicago-Belize flight will act as a pass and will be honored when presented at the checkpoint.

“Anyone picking up locals/residents should ensure that each passenger has his/her itinerary readily available to present to the authorities upon request,” the BTB said. “For tourists using rental cars, including hotel transport, the passenger itinerary of the Chicago flight will also act as a pass and will be honoured when presented at the checkpoints. Each passenger should have his/her itinerary readily available to present to the authorities upon request.”

The BTB also said that the approval is valid only up to 10:00 p.m. and that tourists must go directly to their Gold Standard hotel. The BTB urged all stakeholders carrying passengers on that day to share the information with guests who will be arriving on that flight so they are aware of the 8:00 p.m. curfew in advance.

The provision for the Chicago-Belize flight will remain in place for as long as the 8:00 p.m. curfew is active. The BTB encouraged all tourism stakeholders with questions regarding the provision to call 227-2420 or send an email [email protected].
