Several key agencies fall under the Ministry of Tourism, Youth & Sports — including the Belize Tourism Board, the Border Management Agency, and the National Sports Council. Since the People’s United Party returned to power after the March 12th elections, the government has been in the process of reshaping all statutory boards. That includes the ones overseen by Minister Anthony Mahler, who’s now responsible for guiding these bodies through a fresh round of appointments and restructuring.

“We have Dr. Vincent Palacio chairing the BTB. You have Mr. Dufy Nunez chairing Border Management and you have Mr. Pete Lizarraga chairing the National Sports Council. All capable individuals that could provide the necessary leadership and that will provide the necessary leadership for those organizations and we’ll continue to see good things come out of those organizations.”
