Ferry from Chetumal to BELIZE

From 16 October Belizean company "Express Water Taxi" service will begin to provide ongoing daily ferry service from Belize to Chetumal and Xcalak.

This, as a result of the efforts of the mayor of Othon P. Blanco, Andrés Ruiz Morcillo, to promote the south of Quintana Roo as a tourist destination and source of employment for economic revival.

Yesterday, at a press conference, the director of the shipping company, Mayron Marín, introduced routes Sarteneja-San Pedro-San Pedro, Chetumal and Xcalak, every day beginning next month.

Present at the press conference, Secretary of Government, Cora Amalia Castilla Madrid, the state secretary of Tourism, Armando Alvarez Gonzalez, the Honorary Consul of Belize in Mexico, and local entrepreneurs.

The City's Mayor welcomed the entrepreneurial vision of investors from the neighboring country, under the mutual benefit that will emerge from this exchange, for San Pedro, he said, an attractive alternative means of family entertainment for the Mexicans, while Chetumal poses to be the neighbors supply center and quality of services.

Considered that this capital may provide an interface to other destinations in the country and vice versa, especially for those who arrive at important destinations like Cancun and Costa Maya, who will be attracted to visit the south of Quintana Roo, to this new tourist alternative that will result growth in Belize and Chetumal.
