3 Top Travel Magazines Say You Should Visit Belize in 2019

Not all great vacation destinations are created equal. In 2019, Belize, the jewel of the Caribbean, is being heralded as the best the tropics have to offer!

But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what some of the world’s leading travel magazines had to say;

National Geographic
“The site is like nothing I’ve seen before. We are four of only a handful of people exploring the area. There is no gift shop, no restaurant, not even water for sale. It’s the beauty and challenge of going so far off the beaten path.” -Marie McGrory, on exploring Caracol, the largest Mayan City in the region

Lonely Planet
“Belize City is the historical [former] capital of the nation, and an interesting place to spend a day or two. Its streets are alive with colorful characters representing every facet of Belize’s population, especially the Creoles. It also features handsome colonial houses, seaside parks, bustling shopping areas and sailboats that bob at the mouth of Haulover Creek.”

Conde Nast
“The setting consists of pure azure waters, a sand-fringed coastline, highlands of tropical jungle, and Mayan ruins. The buccaneering spirit still means something in this laid-back little country; Belize is the natural home for vagabonds, beach bums, and runaway romantics.”

Richard Branson's World Record Belize Dive

Earlier this year, Virgin Airlines owner and billionaire Richard Branson made an earth-shattering submarine dive off the coast of Belize, one of his favorite locations. In a first-ever attempt, he and his submarine team explored the deepest recesses of the “Blue Hole.” The Blue Hole is one of the world’s most sought out scuba sites and is believed to contain clues to the collapse of the Maya civilization.

Branson has expressed his affection for the region, and praised it for its potential as a world leader in sustainable tourism.

Getting to Belize is so Easy!

All of this early fanfare is not easy to come by. But Belize has been a top-rated travel destination for decades, and that’s not changing in 2019. That is with the exception that it is also considered an outstanding winter destination for those who would rather leave the snow behind for Christmas.

There is a host of airlines offering extremely competitive rates on flights to Belize. They include;

Sun Country
Air Canada
United Airlines
AeroMexico
Avianca
Delta Airlines

Where to Stay in Belize

According to travel experts like TripAdvisor and Fodors, Cahal Pech Village Resort will be hard to beat in 2019. The resort hires local, support the Belizean economy, and promotes sustainable tourism in the country. As the centerpiece of perhaps the finest tropical location in the hemisphere- that’s a cause worth supporting.
