Hon. Anthony Mahler, Minister of Tourism & Diaspora Relations, Expresses Condolences on the Passing of Mrs. Elvia Staines

Today, we mourn the loss of Mrs. Elvia Staines, a true pioneer in Belize’s tourism industry and the heart behind Elvi’s Kitchen, one of San Pedro’s most beloved and iconic restaurants. Mrs. Staines' passion for Belizean cuisine, her warm hospitality, and her dedication to the community left an indelible mark on both locals and visitors alike.

Her remarkable contributions to Belize’s culinary landscape were recognized when she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Belize Tourism Board in 2009, a testament to her influence and commitment. In 2022, Elvi’s Kitchen was honored with the Restaurant of the Year Award, reflecting the enduring legacy of excellence she built over the decades.

On behalf of the Ministry of Tourism & Diaspora Relations and the Belize Tourism Board, we extend our deepest sympathies to her family, friends, and the entire San Pedro community. May her legacy continue to inspire us all.
