"Belizeoffers terrific family-friendly, eco-conscious possibilities - from iconic islands to lush jungles and ancient sites. And it's closer than you might think: From L.A., it's only a five-hour flight, and from Seattleit's six hours."

"In addition to attracting greater business investment and human capital, this new flight will also spur tourism which is essential for Belize'sprosperity. It comes at a very opportune time as it further boosts the industry's recovery efforts," noted Hon. Anthony Mahler, Minister of Tourism & Diaspora Relations.
