San Pedro marked another small but meaningful milestone on Thursday, February 5th, with the official opening of the new Artisans Market. The inauguration ceremony was hosted by the Belize Tourism Board (BTB), unveiling a fresh, purpose-built space designed with local artisans and vendors in mind.
Completed in January 2026, the new market offers more room for creativity to shine, giving visitors a better chance to experience authentic Belizean crafts while providing vendors with a more comfortable and organized place to do business. The project came together through a collaboration between the BTB, Minister of Tourism Hon. Anthony Mahler, and Belize Rural South Area Representative Hon. Andre Perez, highlighting a continued push to support local talent and enhance San Pedro’s visitor experience.
