Welcome Travel Professional

The Tourism Sales Division has the mission of increasing leisure travel and its attendant economic impact on Greater Miami and the Beaches. Toward that end, the staff works directly with you, the travel trade, to promote the destination worldwide. Partnerships with airlines, travel agents, tour wholesalers and trade organizations are part of daily business. Our sales staff assists travel planners in developing tour programs for individuals and groups, as well as incentive travel programs.

Based on the development of comprehensive strategic objectives in conjunction with our visitor market profile, the Marketing and Tourism Department organized three geographic market-based teams: Europe/Asia, USA/Canada/Caribbean and Latin America/Spain. These three interdisciplinary teams, led by the sales director for each territory, include public relations, advertising and publishing to assist in planning and implementing a comprehensive and coordinated strategy for each market.

The Division annually takes Greater Miami and the Beaches' message to thousands of travel industry representatives like you, by partnership programs with Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau members. Key industry buyers experience the destination first-hand throughout the year in dozens of organized familiarization (FAM) tours. The Division also meets with hundreds of top producers at trade shows on a one-on-one basis to identify their product needs.

READY TO GIVE YOUR CLIENTS A GREAT SHOPPING EXPERIENCE..

The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau has teamed up with partners to distribute the Shop Miami program. Components include the Shop Miami Guide and Gift Booklet.

The Shop Miami Guide is a fold-out brochure that lists all the shopping members with their contact information and services offered. The shopping venues are highlighted on a Greater Miami map. This brochure serves as a general piece to inform your clients of all the shopping opportunities and services available. The Gift Program participants are highlighted on this brochure and also have a separate box on the brochure listing them as participants.

The Shop Miami Gift Booklet is an incentive piece that contains coupons providing valuable gift-with-purchase offers. The coupons will be presented by your clients at the shopping venue with same day receipts totaling the required amount to obtain the gift.

This significant Gift Booklet and Shop Miami Guide can be included with your packages for your clients as an additional value at no cost to you. Not only will this program influence shoppers (domestic and international alike) to experience various centers, but it will increase profitability for travel professionals by allowing you to include an additional value/service to your Miami programs.
