Co-founders Tanya McNab-Fields and Louise Roe-Courtenay craft unforgettable Belize travel experiences with local expertise and heartfelt service.
When Tanya McNab-Fields and Louise Roe-Courtenay co-founded Zant & Co. a Belize Travel Agency, their mission was simple: to make travel to Belize feel effortless, personal, and deeply meaningful. With a shared love for their homeland, their mutual friendship, and their vast experience in the travel and industry, they built a company that not only curates incredible Belizean vacations but also delivers experiences that connect travelers to the heart of this unique country.
For these lifelong friends, Belize isn’t just a place on the map, it’s home. And every itinerary created is a reflection of that personal connection. Whether it’s the rhythms of the Caribbean reef, the ancient stories of the rainforest, or the warm spirit of Belize’s people, Tanya and Louise are committed to giving their clients an experience that feels both intimate and unforgettable.
A Friendship Turned Business: The Story of Zant & Co.
Tanya and Louise’s journey began years before the Zant & Co. Travel Agency was even a thought. Their shared passion for travel, paired with their professional backgrounds in hospitality, marketing, and travel design, made them the perfect team to bring a personalized approach to Belizean tourism. But it wasn’t just business acumen that brought them together; it was their deep-rooted friendship that made the idea of creating Zant & Co. possible.
“We’ve known each other since we were kids, and it’s that friendship that formed the foundation of Zant & Co.,” says Louise. “We understand each other’s strengths and values, and we both have an unwavering love for Belize. We wanted to create something that felt authentic, where travelers could experience the true beauty of this country.”
The name “Zant” itself is a nod to their shared values. It combines the names of their children, symbolizing how their own families are at the heart of everything they do. This simple yet powerful choice is a daily reminder that the trips they plan aren’t just about booking a vacation, they’re about creating lasting memories with the same care and attention they would give their own loved ones.
The Local Advantage: Bringing Belize’s True Spirit to Life
What makes Zant & Co. stand out in the competitive world of travel is the company’s genuine connection to Belize. These founders are not just business partners, they are passionate Belizeans who’ve built deep, meaningful relationships with the resorts, local tour operators, and boutique hotels they recommend. This extensive network allows them to provide travelers with access to authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences that larger travel online agencies simply cannot offer.
“For us, Belize isn’t just a destination, it’s home,” Tanya says, reflecting on their company’s mission. “Every itinerary created is designed to connect you with the heart of this country: the rhythms of the reef, the stories of the rainforest, and the spirit of its people.”
From the moment a client reaches out, Zant travel advisors work directly with them to design a journey that reflects their unique travel preferences. Whether a couple is seeking a romantic beachside retreat, a family desires an adventure in the jungle, or a group wants to relax on a private island, Zant & Co. tailors every itinerary with a personal touch that highlights the very best of Belize.
“We want travelers to feel like they are experiencing Belize with locals,” says Louise. “When you work with us; you’re gaining a true insider’s perspective of what makes Belize so special.”
Bringing Belize’s Rich Culture to the Forefront
At the core of Zant & Co.’s offerings is a focus on cultural immersion. The Zant & Co. Belize Travel Agency is dedicated to showcasing the beauty of Belize, not just as a tropical destination but as a place with a rich history, vibrant culture, and a diverse ecosystem. Their itineraries are carefully designed to highlight this, taking travelers beyond the typical tourist attractions and giving them the chance to experience Belize as the locals do.
“We want people to experience the real Belize, to feel the heartbeat of this country,” says Tanya. “It’s not just about visiting a place; it’s about understanding its people, its culture, and the natural beauty that surrounds it.”
Whether it’s exploring ancient Maya ruins or caves, kayaking on the Belize Barrier Reef, or connecting with local artisans, Zant & Co. ensures that every experience feels authentic and meaningful. Their deep ties to the Belizean community enable them to curate personalized trips that offer an intimate connection to the country, something that mass-market travel agencies are unable to replicate.
