United has curtailed the frequency of my visits SIGNIFICANTLY with its recent (FREQUENT) fare increases.
I'll be happy to discuss my avatar with anyone who knows what it is.

That's very interesting if you look at the pie charts, nothing looks very different. I'm interested at what Lan said....tourism is up around the world. Maybe money doesn't have much to do with anything, and Belize doesn't need to tweak anything, or chase any particular dollar in Europe, or wherever. Tourism is a luxury, and dependent on "What's in", or fashionable, or currently interesting. The more important thing might be to look at, among tourists, who is going where? Maybe the Caribbean, snorkeling/scuba, rainforest ecotourism, etc; isn't the "in"thing. Maybe tourists are going to Croatia, or the East Coast of Italy, or Indonesia, or whatever...these days? Maybe Belize is wasting money on their junkets, suppositions, and complaints about expensive airfares.

It is very hard to argue that were airfares less, there would be more tourists coming to Belize. With its current set up, Belize will never compete with other locales that offer package deals. But as a previous poster said Belize should more actively market to its Central and South American friends. If there are tourist dollars available there, then Belize is much more likely to get the numbers from close by than from Europe. My perspective is that the European tourist has more cool travel options than even do Americans.
I'm a Canadian traveler and a tourist. Airfare prices are kicking my financial butt and as long as the price of oil keeps going up, I don't see that changing much. Still, for the time being, I'm paying the price because just not a "package deal" type of traveler. Sadly, that may change.
