New route to strengthen ties with diaspora and boost tourism

The Tourism Authority in Belize welcomed this new initiative, describing it as a step forward in boosting the nation’s growing tourism sector. This new route is also expected to benefit Belizean diasporas living abroad by providing them a more convenient and affordable connection with the country. 

Fort Lauderdale has become a key hub for connective travel within the United States, as the new service helps increase the visitation of American tourists to explore Belize and its stunning natural beaches, jungles and rich culture.

Spirit’s entry into the Belize market adds to the extensive list of international carriers which serve the country and positions Belize as a key Caribbean and Central American destination.
