Belize has seen its overnight European tourism arrivals between January - June 2017 increase by 9.1% year on year, registering a positive trend for the first half of this year and demonstrating a steady growth for tourism numbers.
The latest statistics indicate that April has seen the highest level of growth, with overnight arrivals increasing by 24.2% year on year, compared to April 2016, closely followed by the month of June with a 10% growth year on year.
Over the past five years, overnight arrivals in June have rivalled January figures, which is Belize?s high season. This suggests that the traditional high season period is now expanding across to other months in the year.
The tourism board have noted that the latest statistics have provided a very positive outlook for tourism arrivals for the remainder of 2017.
