By Breaking Belize News Staff: Queen Square Area Representative Godwin Haylock has asked the government to disclose the terms of Belize’s revenue guarantee for a new Frankfurt–Belize air service and publish a funded plan to tackle sargassum in Placencia and other coastal communities.
Speaking before the House adjourned on Thursday, Haylock welcomed the European route as a way to diversify Belize’s tourism market. He asked what the government had agreed to cover under the guarantee, including whether it would pay for empty seats. No terms of the agreement were confirmed during the exchange.
Discover Airlines is scheduled to begin twice-weekly seasonal service on December 16, 2027. The outbound flights from Frankfurt will stop in San José, Costa Rica, before continuing to Belize City. The return flights will go nonstop to Frankfurt.
Haylock also raised concerns about declining overnight arrivals in the months leading up to the high season, the effect of travel advisories on bookings and heavy sargassum that he said had left stretches of beach in Placencia unusable in September. He urged the government to prepare while the seaweed had receded.
Prime Minister John Briceño said the tourism minister had left the sitting after feeling unwell. The House was told Haylock’s questions would be forwarded to the minister for a written response.
