Ports of Belize

There are 3 sea ports in Belize, Belize City Commerce Bight and Big Creek.
Big Creek port located in the Toledo District is primarily used for banana exports, though some containers do come into the port. The Commerce Bight port is primarily used for Citrus exports while the majority of imports to Belize go through Belize City port both of which are owned and operated by the Port of Belize Ltd. It should also be noted that cruise ships anchor just offshore, and local tenders ferry people from the ships to the city. Tourism is one of the major industries in Belize and government statistics say one in four Belizeans work in this sector.
