And while those tourism stakeholders get financial assistance, they better brace themselves for an influx of tourists. That's because Belize is quickly becoming one of the vacation hotspots for major celebrities.
Over the weekend, R&B singer, Kehlani, posted on her Instagram that she was vacationing in the south - and all 13.5 million IG followers were able to get a glimpse of Belize.
And while we hope she enjoys her stay here, she's only one of several top celebs who chose Belize for a getaway. Late last year, Kanye West flew into the PGIA and met up with Shyne on Prince Island. And before that, Britney Spears jetted off to Gladden Resort on another private island. Aimee Garcia from the popular series, "Lucifer" and reality star, Tammy Rivera, also vacationed in the south last year.
Reports tell us that other celebs such as Reese Witherspoon and Halle Berry also visited Belize last year - discreetly, of course.
And, while they have visited, reliable reports tell 7News that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge William and Kate are planning a top to Belize in March. A Royal Reconnaissance team was on San Pedro last week scoping out possible destinations.
