TravelMart Latin America zahájen v Chile
Belize se prezentovala na 33. výročním TravelMart Latin America, který byl oficiálně zahájen ve čtvrtek 23. září
2009 v Patagonii, Chile.
TravelMart Latin America is the most important business development event of the
year for Latin America Tourism and is attended by "Buyers" of Tourism Products
and Services from global markets, and "Suppliers" representing every country in
the Region. This event boasts over 6,000 pre-scheduled appointments and has
earned a reputation for quality and results since it was inaugurated since 1978.
TravelMart Latin America is an appointment based show which had the
participation of some five hundred travel agents and wholesalers from around the
world.
During the two day business sessions, BTB representatives were engaged in
approximately forty appointments, exclusive of unscheduled meeting sessions.
While at the show, BTB representatives also attended the LAN Seminar on “How to
sell Latin America in 2010 – Observations on the UK Marketplace”. They also
attended the Supplier Seminar which focused on the topic, “Marketing Latin
America in Today’s Economy” and the Rainforest Alliance Seminar which focused on
“Sustainable Tourism.”
“Attendance at shows such like these gives us the opportunity to meet with a
wide variety of wholesalers and tour operators whose main interest is to sell
destinations such as Belize,” comments Tourism Director, Tracy Panton. “We look
forward to future working relationships with the agents we met with at the show,
as well as securing new business as we forge ahead to promote Belize in Latin
America,” Panton noted.
Participating members at this event included the Belize Hotel Association and
the Belize Tourism Industry Association. Representing the Belize Tourism Board
were Mrs. Mariam Roberson, Board Member and Ms. Karina Cunil, Marketing
Officer.
