Injunction filed to halt construction of Artisan Market at El Embarcadero
The situation regarding the relocation of the artisan market in San Pedro, Belize, escalated when a recent injunction was filed to halt the ongoing construction project. The Ministry of Tourism and the Honorable Andre Perez, Area Representative for Belize Rural South, plan to build a new artisan market at El Embarcadero on Nurse Shark Street. This has faced strong opposition from local artisans, fishermen, and residents, who argue that the proposed site is unsuitable and threatens their livelihoods. This injunction was submitted by Severro Guerrero, along with other residents of San Pedro.

Art day at Central Park
With the mission to continue stimulating the local economy on the island, the San Pedro Town Council (SPTC) organized a market day for local artists at Central Park. The event saw several booths displaying paintings, carvings, jewellery, souvenirs, and other crafts. It was a success, and organizers hope to hold the event again soon.

It would be nice if the policies could favor local residents with art made on the island.
