While the nurses are on a go slow, cruise tourism will be quickly returning to Belize. Norwegian Cruise Line will resume with the first test sail on August 4th which will lead the first post-COVID guests to call on Harvest Caye on August 9th. signaling the reopening of the cruise tourism sector in Belize.
And with that, comes a brand new set of health and safety protocols which will guide the restart of cruise operations in Belize.
A release says these protocols are the result of many hours of hard work by the Belize Cruise Taskforce, working in collaboration with regional industry partne3rs. The release adds, quote, "it has been over a year since the cruise industry in our region has been suspended, and thousands of Belizeans that work in this sector are now ready to welcome cruise guests to our shores once again, guided by the new health and safety protocols."
The full list of protocols, including what passengers must do once they are moving around the country, can be found on BTB's website.
