INFORMATION |
| |
The country's official source of tourist information is the Belize
Tourist Board (BTB; www.travelbelize.org ), with offices in Belize City,
San Pedro and Punta Gorda, plus an information booth at the airport. The
staff are generally quite helpful, and have maps, brochures and local
information.
The Belize Tourist Industry Association (BTIA) also have numerous
offices and representatives around the country and, although they are
really an industry organization, staff can help with information and
will deal with complaints about hotel standards or service. Perhaps more
usefully, most of the hotels and all the travel agents mentioned in this
guide can recommend local guides and attractions.
For the latest information on the growing number of reserves, national
parks and associated visitor centres, call or visit the Belize Audubon
Society in Belize City, which administers many of the country's
protected areas. For in-depth information on social, cultural, political
and economic matters concerning Belize, the place to look is the SPEAR
Web site (Society for the Promotion of Education and Research) at
www.spearbelize.org . |
