- Not Enough Time to Visit What Belize Has to Offer

Royal Caribbean has been in the forefront of this battle, but so far none of their strategies seem to work as the company continues to monitor the season’s ticket sales. The discounts aren’t enough to lure in passengers, who have no money to spend on vacations.
Richard Farin, Royal Caribbean’s CEO, said that they ?expect even more challenges in 2009? based on the sales during the last quarter of 2008. The downturn started way [...]
