“Your new favorite Caribbean island isn’t an island at all – Here’s how to vacation mogul-style in Belize, while on a budget.” WRITTEN BY: LARRY WAIGHT
Are your aspirations bigger than your bank account? No problem. By visiting Belize, you can still vacation in the Caribbean and return home with cash in your wallet. Take the June 2020 travel poll by Aggressor Adventures, which showed island destinations leading demand by 49%, with remote adventure travel and the Caribbean as the first priority points of entry. In the months or even years to come, travel trends predict the Caribbean to be regularly chosen over other swanky destinations like Monaco and the Amalfi Coast.
Make Belize your go-to destination According to the Robb Report, “Your Favorite New Caribbean Island isn’t an Island at All”! Citing Belize as the new St. Barts, St. Lucia and any number of high-end vacation spots eager to eat up your retirement funds on a single holiday, Robb reports that Belize is a “laid-back nation of sandy roads, beachshack restaurants, and seriously impressive ruins.” Editors go on to say that visitors won’t find a better frozen daiquiri or couples’ massage outside the nation of Belize. Atmosphere. Affordability. Everyone speaks English and takes U.S. dollars. Seriously, what other Caribbean nation can make those claims while treating you like royalty? Isn’t it time to find out why Belize has become the place people from all walks of life find the kind of paradise once offered only by Caribbean resorts with more pretense than character?
