Freshly Renovated Welcome Centre Opens in San Jose Succotz

This Saturday, December 14, the doors of the newly renovated welcome centre in San Jose Succotz were officially opened. The transformation of this once-dilapidated structure promises to offer tourists a more organised, informative, and enjoyable start to their journey while also benefiting the local community.

The centre features a staging area, restrooms, a playground, and a pergola, serving as a central hub for visitors and tour guides to share cultural and historical information. The Belize Tourism Board expressed their excitement, stating, “We are excited to announce the official opening of the San Jose Succotz Welcome Centre, a modern 5,000-square-foot facility.”

This project was a collaborative effort between Cayo West Area Representative Jorge Espat, the Belize Tourism Board, and the Succotz Village Council.

The groundbreaking took place back in March 2024. During the groundbreaking ceremony, Anthony Mahler, Minister of Tourism & Diaspora Relations, said in his speech, “As tourism continues to boom, it is important that we invest in the infrastructure with projects such as these that will enhance the Belize experience for visitors and locals.”
