Vocal opposition in Placencia to proposed Royal Caribbean port

[wadethegringo]

At a public consultation in Placencia Village on Friday, October 22, investors from the Placencia peninsula who have interests in overnight tourism told officials of the Ministry of Tourism and the Belize Tourism Board (BTB) in no uncertain terms that they do not agree with a proposal by Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited (RCCL) to establish a small port in the village.

 

Currently, Belize’s only cruise port is located in Belize City, the Fort Street Tourism Village, a venture in which Royal Caribbean is also partner.

 

The model of the proposed port in southern Belize appears in the document titled Belize’s Punta Placencia: Cruise Tender Arrival Area & Village, and is pictured along with this article.

Thanks, a lot of opposition. What is going on with the pier project in Belize City?
