Prostitution in Belize

Prostitution in Belize is legal, but the buying of sexual services is not. Associated activities such as operating a brothel, loitering for the purposes of prostitution and soliciting sex are also illegal.

Prostitution is widespread and takes place on the streets and in brothels, bars, nightclubs and hotels.

Although denied by the Belize government, the country is a destination for sex tourism. Child sex tourism is a problem, primarily serving visitors from the United States. Sex trafficking is also a problem in the country.
