GOLD STANDARD COVID-19 STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES

In order for Belize to open up safely to tourists the Belize Tourism Board in partnership with our National Oversight Committee and the Belize Ministry of Health, the Gold Standard Certification Program was developed to standardize health and safety in the tourism industry for the safety of Belizeans and our visiting guests.

1. Unvaccinated tourists will be required to present a negative Covid 19 PCR or rapid test on arrival or be tested at the airport at their own expense ($50.00USD). 
2. Happy Go Luckie Tours will be working with other Gold Standard Certified hotels and tour operators to ensure the safety of guests and our staff.
3. All of our staff have gone through training to ensure they are up to date on all the new standards and procedures we will be following.
4. All our staff are fully vaccinated.
5. All payments will be taken online when possible via payment app or through booking resorts. We can also take cash payments if necessary.
