The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) hosted its fourth annual Tour Guide Licensing Clinic at SunBreeze Hotel from Tuesday, July 28th to Friday, July 31st, offering new and renewing tour guides the opportunity to complete their licensing requirements in one location. The annual clinic was designed to simplify the licensing process, particularly for tour guides who may not be comfortable using email or completing applications through digital platforms. Tour guide licensing is an important component of Belize’s tourism industry, ensuring that guides meet national standards for safety, professionalism, and knowledge of the country’s natural, cultural, and historical attractions. New applicants were also required to provide proof of successful completion of an approved tour guide training course. The guide also suggested extending the clinic to two days in future years to accommodate the high number of applicants better.
