From Belize Tourism Board

Greetings from Belize.

We are relieved to report that Hurricane Felix completely bypassed Belize
earlier this week and all our hotels, tour operators and tour guides are
open for business as usual. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people
along the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua where the hurricane made landfall on
Tuesday.

The government and people of Belize take the threat of hurricanes very
seriously and on Monday, September 3rd, the country of Belize was placed on
Hurricane watch. Hurricane shelters were opened and voluntary evacuations
were enacted on the cayes and low lying areas especially in the south of
the country. By Tuesday, the Belize National Emergency Organization had
declared the "All Clear" and many businesses re-opened.

Belize suffered NO DAMAGE from Hurricane Felix and hotels, tour operators
and tour guides throughout the country are open for business and welcoming
visitors. International flights were not interrupted and are scheduled as
usual.

Marty, Thanks so much for all your postings and info. We just bought a place on AC, and you and these boards have been a wealth of information...much better than any news sites! I'm not much of a poster, but I check in and read updates, and this is a great site....so thanks!!
