travelguy2009 Posted October 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I have used Island Marketing to book tours on several occasions with fantastic results. I have tried to book an excursion with them while we are in Belize but I get an email that tours have not been scheduled for the day we are in port and that I would be added to email list to be contacted once scheduled. Has anyone else run into this? The other times I used them, I booked way in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CintiPam Posted October 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Why not book directly with the tour operator? What is the value added here by using a middleman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted October 17, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Why not book directly with the tour operator? What is the value added here by using a middleman? Some vendors use the "middleman" because they don't have the resources to fully market and book their tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CintiPam Posted October 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Some vendors use the "middleman" because they don't have the resources to fully market and book their tours. OK, thanks for the explanation. Does that simply add more cost to the tour or does that come out of the vendor's pockets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificMountain2012 Posted October 21, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Island Marketing uses, Ecological Tours & Services in Belize City. I just used Island Marketing last week for Goff's Caye. In our case there was no difference in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhapsodyqueen Posted December 22, 2014 #9 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I just tried to book with them for January 7th 2015 and got the same response. No one has booked with them yet and they need atleast 15 people to do the tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podie Posted December 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I used them 2 weeks ago in Belize for ziplining and they sent us with X-Stream Ziplining. Both companies were excellent. Check your spam folder because I did find an Island Marketing e-mail in mine once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
