Savor Experiences. I will create memories, safely, and savor all the experiences offered by Belize: whether by its food, vast landscapes, friendly people, or warm hospitality.
Preserve Belize. I will be mindful of my ecological footprint on Belize and her natural environment by protecting natural & cultural monuments, and offshore & inland treasures.
Obtain the Belize Travel Health App. I will follow the terms and conditions set out on entry to Belize in the Belize Travel Health app, including the daily check-ins and contact tracing while in-country.
