On Friday, January 11, 2013, a new Belize logo was launched by the Belize Tourism Board at its annual Industry Presentation. BTIA had taken a decision to delay the printing of the 2013 edition in order to incorporate the new Belize creative.
“We believe that this strategic decision was in the best interest of the industry’s marketing efforts, and will ensure a unified thrust from public and private sector to market Belize under a single brand,” stated President of the BTIA Mr. Herbert Haylock.
The 2013 Destination Belize is the 17th edition of the travel magazine and has once again been published by Belize’s very own IdeaLab Studios. The BTIA stated that is proud to be working in partnership with IdeaLab Studios, the Belize Tourism Board, the Belize Hotel Association, the 2013 advertisers and the list of contributing writers on this important marketing initiative.
“With their knowledge and cooperation, we have ensured the inclusion of accurate information and integrated the use of print and digital media across a wide variety of new platforms, ensuring that readers everywhere will be eager to book their vacations and embark on adventures throughout the country of Belize,” stated the BTIA.

About the cover: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS is a message to visitors, communicating that travelers to Belize can enjoy authentic experiences in diverse environments. The cover was shot in two locations: San Pedro, Ambergris Caye and Mountain Pine Ridge, Cayo. The cover communicates the essence of Belize travel – the vast diversity of authentic experiences in such a small country. Models Kelly and Paul German showcase the best of Belize’s inland and water worlds. Both photos by Demian Solano were combined for the cover, and are shown on pages 16 & 17 of the publication.
The 2013 edition is the 17th edition of Destination Belize. In addition to the traditional high-quality prints that are distributed both locally and internationally, the magazine is available online as an interactive website, on tablet devices, and on CD ROM.
