A disturbing headline just popped up on myriad travel websites, and if you’re planning a family trip abroad, you’ll want to factor in this news: Tourist pickpocking incidents have surged in Italy, Portugal, The United Kingdom, France, Spain, and The Netherlands over the past few years. If you already worry about the escalating costs associated with taking your clan to these nations, consider following in the footsteps of families eager to keep their families safe above all. Avoid Europe and stay close to home.
Whether your main concern is pickpockets, or you worry most about terrorism, civil unrest, and other safety issues, staying closer to home just makes sense, and choosing Belize for your next family getaway could be the wisest decision you and your family make—especially as shoulder season approaches and rates throughout the Caribbean rim begin to drop dramatically.
Exercise caution to have have the vacation of a lifetime
Is Belize heaven on earth? It is, but like every place on earth these days, no society is exempt from crime, thus taking standard safety precautions–no matter where you travel on this planet—-can result in an incident-free experience. Belizeans all speak English, so visitors can count on plenty of help from the warmest, most welcoming people you’ll meet in Central America and that’s just the first of your assurances.
Child-friendly and so near U.S. ports of entry, even restless kiddos manage airline flights, you’ll appreciate the fact that Belize officials work hard to reduce crime, as evidenced by the 2024 Belize Police Department’s statistics that show a 24% drop in serious crimes in major tourism areas—especially if you avoid high-risk zones.
Consult the U.S. Department of State’s Belize Travel Advisory to stay apprised of risky Belize locations, and be especially selective when it comes to the resort you choose. For families, that’s Laru Beya Resort, the paradise that prides itself on a safe, secure family sojourn.
