COVID-19 Safety is Important to us!

Enhanced health and safety protocols are being introduced as part of the Government of Belize, the Belize Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Health, and the Belize Tourism Board’s (BTB’s) commitment to keep Belizeans, tourism dependent communities, and our visitors safe from the risks related to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) that can cause COVID-19.

To meet the new health and safety challenges and expectations presented by COVID-19, the Belize Tourism Board (BTB) is launching its Gold Standard Recognition Program for tour operators alongside the country’s National Tourism Guidelines. These new protocols are focused on enhanced tour operator sanitation practices, social interactions, workplace policies and standard operating procedures, while ensuring minimal impact on the guest experience.

This 9-Point Program seeks to introduce enhanced health and safety standards for tour operators by adapting new behaviors and procedures to ensure both travelers and employees are confident in the cleanliness and safety of tour experiences. Under the Tourism Gold Standard Program, the Belize Tourism Board is making every effort to stop the spread of COVID-19, but will not be liable for any positive cases detected in Belize.

Epic Mayan Tours is a certified Gold Standard tour operator. All staff has taken the Health and Safety training, which allows us to provide safe tours and transportation for our visitors.
