While in California, the BTB delegation had the opportunity to educate both
wholesalers and the retail travel trade on Belize’s product offerings by
conducting an audio visual presentation which highlighted Belize’s reef,
rainforest, archaeology, and culture. The first presentation was done to the
Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) San Diego chapter. During the presentation,
agents were introduced to various scenes and sounds of Belize, increasing their
awareness and knowledge, in an effort to effectively promote and sell Belize as
a vacation destination to their clients.
On this trip, the Belize delegation also met with one of the largest wholesalers
in the California area, Pleasant Holidays. The company has long term
partnerships with some of the world’s leading airlines, hotels, cruise lines and
travel agencies. With almost 50 years experience, Pleasant Holidays has a team
of 635 dedicated employees and 4 Reservations/Customer Service Centers. These
travel brands offer a wise variety of travel products from economy to luxury
vacation packages at affordable prices, while delivering exceptional customer
service. The Pleasant Holidays brands have sold over 9 million vacation packages
since 1959 and the Belize Tourism Board is proud to announce that Pleasant
Holidays will launch Belize as a new destination in April of 2009.
BTB representatives also met with the local press and conducted two on-camera
interviews talking about Belize as a premier vacation destination. Private
sector participants included Belize Vacation Partners and Hugh Parkey’s Belize
Adventures. The Belize Tourism Board would like to thank the consulate of Belize
in California, Mr. Roland Yorke for his invaluable support at both presentations
and the Los Angeles Times Travel & Adventure Show.
