AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Airlift & Tourism: Belize is scrambling to replace lost budget-carrier capacity as Spirit Air and JetBlue pull back, with the BTB in talks with Bermuda Air to add routes from Boston, Raleigh, Fort Lauderdale, St. Petersburg and Orlando Sanford. Aviation Expansion: Bermuda Air also announced winter service growth that includes direct flights to Belize from multiple US cities starting Dec. 19, plus new Orlando Sanford operations and additional Caribbean connectivity. Ambergris Caye Infrastructure: Plans for a San Pedro International Airport are moving forward, with IDB acceptance of designs under ICAO standards and funding tied to Social Security Board land, aiming to boost high-end tourism and regional/private jet traffic. Coastal Environment: Government has temporarily halted dredging in sensitive coastal areas, including beach reclamation, while it develops a compliance-focused plan with San Pedro, Caye Caulker and other coastal communities. Livestock Biosecurity: Belize is running New World screwworm livestock training in Corozal and Sarteneja to improve detection and reporting, as Texas confirms the parasite and raises regional animal-health alarm. Fuel Price Pressure: The BCCI renewed calls for temporary fuel tax relief, while PM Briceño dismissed the appeal as “embarrassing,” arguing tax structure and international volatility drive pump prices. Labour Market: Officials say Belize faces a growing labour shortage across agriculture, construction and tourism, with businesses increasingly using work permits to fill gaps. Digital Resilience: Belize’s ICT ministry is represented at a regional workshop on data embassies to keep government services running during crises. Fisheries Enforcement: Coast Guard operations with partners net illegal fishing suspects near Gladden Spit, highlighting continued pressure on IUU activity.
