Chris it seems the problem has no solution and it's certainly beyond BTB BTIA etc and even GOB. Airline fees are high. We have a tiny population that generates little Intl traffic for family vists or business. We have less than 500 Hotels so it's a tiny Tourism market, with a maximum of only eight incoming International flights a day. Eight. I bet all our perceived competition get that in two hours. With low volume travel come higher prices, or no discounts.
Let's get back to branding Belize for what it is, a small eco destination that is exclusively different - from the Reef to the rainforest steeped in history and all visitable in the same day. Exclusive costs more, get the GOB on board with policies that keep us in this bracket and attract people willing to spend a little more for a holiday with lot more. Leave mass tourism to the rest as we can't do justice to that and focus on what we can control.
