Belize’s tourism sector has reached a historic milestone in 2024, surpassing pre-pandemic levels of overnight visitor arrivals and marking a triumphant recovery. Preliminary figures show that Belize welcomed 562,405 overnight visitors in 2024, an impressive 21% increase over 2023 and an 11.8% growth compared to 2019, which had previously been the benchmark year for tourism.

This remarkable achievement is the result of collective efforts across Belize’s tourism industry, from service providers and operators to the government’s strategic support. Eleven of the twelve months in 2024 recorded higher overnight arrivals than 2019, with March emerging as the busiest month, welcoming 69,202 visitors. This reflects Belize’s growing appeal as a must-visit destination for travelers seeking authentic experiences and natural beauty.
