By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): The Belize Tourism Industry Association (BTIA) is calling for coordinated action following Tropic Air’s withdrawal of scheduled service to Punta Gorda.
In a release on Thursday, BTIA said the loss of air connectivity affects more than tourism, with consequences for businesses, residents and the wider Toledo economy.
The association acknowledged the commercial realities behind Tropic Air’s decision, including the challenge of sustaining service where demand is too low.
“Connectivity is essential to the economic life of our destinations,” said BTIA President Efren E. Perez. “When a district loses an air service, the impact extends beyond visitor arrivals to the businesses, families and services that depend on reliable transport.”
BTIA is calling on the Government of Belize, the Belize Tourism Board, Tropic Air and Toledo stakeholders to meet and find viable connectivity options, strengthen promotion and agree on practical steps to support the district.
