Belize

Yes, but with caution — Belize is moderately safe: as of July 2026 it scores 6.9/10 on our daily safety index, classified as Moderate risk. Most trips are trouble-free, but some risks deserve attention.

The score is an uncertainty-weighted (Bayesian shrinkage) geometric mean of five pillars — conflict (30%), crime (25%), health (20%), governance (15%) and environment (10%) — combined with a calibrated consensus of government travel advisories, so a weak pillar drags the overall score down more than a strong one lifts it, and thin or stale data pulls a country's score toward a cautious regional baseline rather than guessing. conflict (8.1/10) is Belize's strongest pillar, while the score is pulled down by environment (6.9/10) and above all by crime (5.2/10).

This pillar reflects violent crime, theft and organized criminal activity — a low score calls for extra street awareness, especially outside the main tourist areas. It is recalculated every day from public sources including government travel advisories, the Global Peace Index, the INFORM Risk Index and World Bank indicators.

No single factor stands out as critical for Belize: its relatively weakest area is crime at 5.2/10, close to the global mid-range. This pillar reflects violent crime, theft and organized criminal activity — a low score calls for extra street awareness, especially outside the main tourist areas.

The main signal behind this is homicide rate (World Bank). Its strongest pillar is conflict at 8.1/10.

As of July 2026, Belize has 15 government travel advisories on record. The overall picture is reassuring: most governments advise only normal precautions for Belize, and none currently raises it above a low-level advisory.
