2020 was a year of chaos for practically the entire world — and while 2021 was comparatively a period of recovery, many of us didn’t have the opportunity to step back, leave on a distant vacation, and begin the recuperation process. If that’s you, it might be time to give Belize a try. As one of the first tropical travel destinations to offer a thorough and sensible approach to COVID-19 travel regulations, Belize is enjoying a position of respect that’s been long coming. This beautiful Central American country is affordable, accessible, and perfect for a wide variety of different travelers.
Dangerously Close to Home
Belize may feel like it’s a whole other world, but many Americans can get there in as little as two hours. Direct flights are available on a regular basis from roughly a dozen airports throughout the United States, and the hub of Belize City makes it easy to get around the country and back when you need to. You can count on your trip to be safe and smooth as well. Thanks to the inclusion of a Tourism Safety Corridor and a new Gold Star certification for tourism-related businesses, you can be confident that your trip will be smooth and seamless. While dealing with the added complications of COVID-19 testing took some time to adjust to, it’s operating like clockwork in Belize now.
Making Believers in the Global Travel Industry
Belize has long been one of the Caribbean’s hidden gems, although it’s been gaining popularity for destination weddings, adventure travel, ecotourism, and retirement. But 2021 saw Belize break out in a big way. The country earned fourth position on Lonely Planet’s list of the top countries to travel during 2022, and National Geographic placed the country’s Maya Forest Reserve on their list of 25 must-see international destinations in 2022.
Straddling Verdant Land and Azure Waters
Belize’s claim to fame is its barrier reef, but this country’s biggest advantage may be the fact that it offers the opportunity to explore beautiful coral reefs and deep interior jungle and forest all in one trip. That’s especially true if you decide to establish your base camp in Placencia Village. Despite being a hub for travel, this village on Belize’s long, thin southeastern peninsula is less touristy than destinations like Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker. It’s also more convenient. Though the geography makes it feel like you’re on an island — and makes it easy to get out and explore the Caribbean — direct access to the mainland allows you to also travel deep into the country’s interior without having to deal with the complications of a ferry.
If you want to spend 2022 at the beating pulse of the Caribbean, book your trip at Chabil Mar resort today. As the closest full-service resort to Placencia Village, it’s the perfect place to set out on your Belize adventure vacation.
