One of my co-workers is from Belize, and when I told her about this, she wasn't too thrilled. She says that Belize really can't handle any more tourists. The government there is fairly anti-growth, and doesn't want to build any more hotels, so as to protect the environment. The reefs there are also being "loved to death" from all the people that go there to see them, not unlike the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. In other words, she told me: more tourists + no new hotels = higher hotel prices!
