“Come on down!” says Catarina, a travel specialist for Belize with Zicasso. “Belize is open and ready to receive visitors with great travel deals in October and November of 2020, and enhanced safety measures and protocols in place to protect everyone’s well being.”

The Hallmarks of Belize Tour: Ancient Ruins, Rich Culture, Thriving Tropics, which Catarina designed for 2020 and 2021, is a sample itinerary that shows how much is possible. “Belize is an ideal country to visit even amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic because it is a country that you can easily explore and enjoy. The warm tropical climate makes being outside in the fresh air appealing all-year-round, and all our main attractions, from snorkeling and diving to scaling Maya Temples, are experienced outside in nature,” says Catarina. Flights are accessible and relatively short for American travelers, and Zicasso can help to find the right flights for you.

With a fantastic collection of boutique resorts, open-air and outdoor restaurants, and plenty of natural beauty to explore, the environment is perfect for a trip during the coronavirus. “Small group sizes of 2-6 people for guided day excursions are already the norm here because custom travel, rather than mass tourism, is what Belize is all about. Now that we have implemented enhanced safety protocols at all levels of the tourism industry, visiting Belize is safer than ever!” Catarina confirms.
