Belize se účastní šestého výročního Central America Travel Market v Salvadoru.
Belize představila jako cestovatelský objev nový svět nápadů na dovolenou v Toronto’s Ultimate Travel Show
Belize byla s hrdostí representována na Toronto Ultimate Travel Show 23 a 24.ledna.
Dali přes 20tis. spotřebitelům možnost využít plánování dovolené již dříve v tomto roce.
With the rhythms of Caribbean music in the air, it was easy for visitors
to imagine they were at an exotic destination rather than downtown Toronto
during the show days.
The two day show provided consumers with the ultimate travel experience through
deals, savings, and onsite purchasing opportunities, as well as valuable
research information. The show has long been known for its entertaining and
informative presentation of premier travel destinations, providers, hotels and
resorts, and retailers all under one roof. It is one of the most powerful and
effective ways to reach qualified travel consumers in Toronto and from across
Ontario.
This year, the event featured a scuba diving tank with live demos, entertainment
from a Caribbean band, and exciting speakers including Canadian television host
and journalist, Valerie Pringle, and WWE Champion and yoga guru, Trish Stratus
who shared stories about traveling the globe in search of the most exotic
locations and daring physical challenges from her new original series,
Stratusphere on Travel + Escape.
"Attendance at Toronto’s Ultimate Travel Show is an exciting way for consumers
in the Canadian market to ‘wet their appetite’ for Belize," comments Acting
Tourism Director, Shakira Tsai. "Canada is the fourth biggest market for Belize.
The Belize Tourism Board, with the strong support of the private sector
continues to build awareness of Belize with key tourism partners in Canada to
grow the demand," Tsai stated.
Last year, the Minister and the CEO of Tourism, along with members of the Belize
Aviation Development Committee, met with representatives from west Jet Airlines
in Calgary, Canada to discuss the merits of Belize as a destination for West
Jet. The objective of the Aviation Committee is to build relationships with the
international airlines to grow Belize’s airlift capacity and to attract greater
business opportunities.
Belize representatives included Robin McCutheon of the Belize Hotel Association,
Joanna Arellano of the Belize Tourism Industry Association and Melecia Banks and
Pauline Buller of the Belize Tourism Board.
