I’m curious to see how the new rules shape things for small businesses. It could bring fresh jobs and give visitors another reason to spend money locally if it’s managed well.

The island community of San Pedro and the nation of Belize mourn the passing of Celi Nuñez McCorkle, a visionary entrepreneur, beloved community matriarch, and one of the true pioneers of tourism in Belize. Mrs. Celi, widely known as the “Mother of Tourism” in San Pedro, dedicated her life to sharing the beauty of Ambergris Caye with the world.

Celebrating 60 years of the San Pedro Holiday Hotel
It’s not every day you get to raise a glass to a legacy, let alone one that helped shape the very soul of an island. This year, we do just that as we proudly celebrate the 60th anniversary of the San Pedro Holiday Hotel, a place that has meant so much more than just a place to stay. It has been a home, a meeting ground, a first impression, and a lasting memory for locals and travelers alike.

This anniversary isn’t just about a building, it’s about a dream that took root beneath the coconut trees of a sleepy fishing village. It’s about a woman named Ms. Celi McCorkle who, with nothing more than determination and vision, planted the first seeds of tourism in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize. Long before the buzz of golf carts and the hum of beachfront nightlife, there was Celi – dragging supplies from sailboats, welcoming strangers with warmth, cooking for guests and creating what would become the first hotel on Ambergris Caye.
