By Zoila Palma: Canada has expanded its 2025 global travel advisory to include Belize, joining a growing list of countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Spain, Jamaica, France, Egypt, and Denmark.
The advisory urges Canadian travelers to exercise a high degree of caution due to a range of safety threats that vary by destination, including gang-related violence, civil unrest, and seasonal crime surges.
In Belize, the advisory specifically warns travelers about urban crime hotspots, particularly in Southside Belize City, where gang violence remains a serious issue.
Although tourists are not typically targeted, Canadian authorities caution that the risk of being caught in crossfire remains.
Law enforcement in the area faces challenges with limited resources, which has contributed to unresolved violent crimes and reduced police presence.
“Exercise a high degree of caution in Belize due to high levels of violent crime throughout the country,” the advisory noted.
Tourists are advised to avoid unfamiliar neighborhoods, especially at night, and to remain vigilant in crowded or poorly lit locations.
The advisory underscores the importance of situational awareness and preparation before and during travel.
The advisory also warned of fraud such as Credit card and ATM fraud.
