BTB's Belize Travel Gateway Gets A New Look

The most advertised Belize travel website is the BTB's travelbelize.org and on April 22nd, 2009, the BTB's network of websites got a modern and compelling new visage with the launch of an innovative website on its Belize travel gateway – www.travelbelize.org   This recent launch is the 4th redesign of this valuable visitor resource since the BTB's first online presence in 1996.

Vibrant imagery illustrates our invitation to visitors to awaken the senses and "Be One with Belize."  But this new website is much more than an attractive design, our mission is to present the diverse attractions, activities and cultures experienced on a Belize vacation in a concise, accessible, even entertaining fashion, so that visitors begin to fall in love with Belize.  Maps, video, podcasts and brochures showcase the spectacular locations and host of activities in Belize's rainforest, marine environment and Maya temples.

Visitors can explore Belize via 8 major sections of the website including:  About Belize, Attractions, Activities, Destinations, Unique Travel, Accommodations, Plan your Visit, Maps & More. 

Making actual vacation plans is never more than a click away with an onsite listing of current travel deals from the private sector and, a detailed directory of hotels, resorts, lodges, vacation rentals, condominiums and guesthouses searchable by destination, price range or setting (island, coastal beach, urban, jungle, liveaboard).

And, on every page visitors are invited to sign up for Belize's Travel News, a monthly feature that will focus on a destination, activity or target market along with current Travel Deals in Belize.

Internet marketing is an increasingly valuable marketing medium as the worldwide population of internet users grows.  The trend within Internet users to rely heavily on the Internet as an aid in their travel decision-making has made destinations even more competitive on the Internet as each seeks to increase the market share for their tourism market share.

For over ten years, the internet presence of Belize's tourism industry has been a regional model with all sectors of the Belize tourism industry well-represented on the Internet. 

The Belize Tourism Board recognizes the vital role that the Internet plays in promoting travel to Belize and is pleased to launch this new website which was created by the Dangriga-based, Belizean company of Naturalight Productions.
