Belize’s Overnight and Cruise Sectors get a boost
There is
fantastic news to report in the tourism travel industry for Belize. Hot on the
heels of the release of record breaking tourist arrivals in the first quarter
of 2013, new flights and cruise calls to Belize were announced for the final
quarter of the year.
Starting in
November, Delta Airlines will be adding another Saturday flight from Atlanta to
Belize. Delta currently deploys seven flights a week (one flight per day) to
Belize, increasing its total number of flights to eight per week (twice on
Saturdays). This is an additional 596 seats per month, and will be a permanent
addition to Delta's schedule to Belize.
In addition,
American Airlines will be increasing its Dallas to Belize flights from three
weekly flights to seven flights per week (one flight daily), providing a total
of 600 additional seats in the month of October.

Director of Marketing and Industry Relations, Alyssa Carnegie, commented, “This
is fantastic news. The Tourism Industry is doing so well that even the airlines
have seen a need to increase flights, and these flights are being increased
during a time that was generally considered to be a slow time for traveling by
air. It shows amazing growth and more opportunities for the industry and
Belize.”
As the
Ministry of Tourism & Culture and the Belize Tourism Board continue to
invest efforts to increase cruise arrivals for Belize, the Royal Caribbean
International announced that not only have they renovated their ‘Navigator of
the Seas’ to include unique features such as a Flow Rider Surf Simulator and
the First-Ever Virtual Balcony, but will also deploy the Navigator of the Seas
year round out of Galveston, Texas, starting in Winter 2013.
As a result,
Belize will receive a total of 30 cruise calls during 2014. For the past two
years, Belize has not had more than 10 calls per year from ‘Navigator of the
Seas’; therefore this news will result in a 200% increase for this cruise ship.
It is expected that this increase in cruise calls will bring over 90,000 cruise
visitors to Belize.
