Southwest Airlines recently launched daily nonstop flights from the U.S. (Houston) to Belize City. This means that if you own a Belize vacation home or an investment in Belize land or property, your Belize real estate just got closer … figuratively speaking, of course. Below is firsthand proof from Managing Partner Ryan Wrobel.
This is big news for Belize business and North Americans with assets in Belize, or for those thinking about buying real estate in Belize, whether as vacation home or investment opportunity or permanent residence. Being able to travel more easily to Belize is advantageous, and Houston is a major hub for Americans and Canadians traveling from every part of the continent.
And the news is simply good for Belize. Connectivity facilitates business, and more connectivity means more business. More business will translate into more money pouring into the Belizean economy (similar to what has happened with the blossoming of Belize’s offshore sector).
Belize is conveniently situated at the center of Central America, North America, and the Caribbean. Picture a triangle and at the center, there we are. Flights to other locations throughout the Western Hemisphere are easily accessible, and things are only getting better.
As a Belize law firm with Belize real estate attorneys who have specialised in linking foreigners (including many North Americans) with Belize property and Belize homes for a decade, we know that more money and development mean increased real estate prices and more investment opportunities.
But not to worry, lovers of Belize as it is. Increased connectivity with North America will not harm the Belize you know and love. Ours is a tourist-based economy already, well-adapted to an influx of tourists who arrive every year to hike up incredible Mayan ruins like the ones at Xunantunich, explore the second largest barrier reef in the world, hike hundreds of cave systems. Belize is used to the comings and goings of visitors appreciating its vast beauty.
