B.T.B. Breaks Ground On Chactemal Bayside Plaza

The Belize Tourism Board is furthering its initiative to enhance areas already frequented by tourists and locals with the construction of parks and plazas, in order to boost their appeal. On Tuesday, the B.T.B. broke ground on the Chactemal Bayside Plaza, which is to be constructed alongside the Corozal Bay. The seaside park is set to be filled with amenities such as food kiosks, a pier, an artisan corner, swimming, dining and play areas, as well as an entertainment space. The project comes as a collaboration between the B.T.B., the Corozal Town Council, and Minister of State in the Ministry of Human Development, Families and Indigenous People’s Affairs, Elvia Samos. The B.T.B. stated that the installation of the plaza will transform the area into a vibrant hub of social interaction and shared experiences. The initiative aims to enrich the socio-economic fabric of the area and strengthen the sense of belonging and pride among residents. As the project takes shape, the B.T.B. hopes that it will be able attract visitors, stimulate economic activity, and foster a deeper connection between people and place.
