In Miami, a vast patchwork of cultural traditions blends with modern, tropical elegance, making the city seem both American and international at once.

Here, clients can take in the sights, sounds and flavors of historically Black, Cuban, Haitian and Bahamian neighborhoods; enjoy life out on the water or on soft, sandy beaches; and embrace art in many forms, from art deco and Spanish Renaissance architecture to stunning digital installations, street art and reef revitalization through underwater sculpture. Of course, Miami also beckons with its iconic nightlife and award-winning restaurants.

The newly expanded Greater Miami and Miami Beach Specialist Program at TravelAgentAcademy.com will help you piece together the many enticements that define this city and prep you to sell the destination to all sorts of travelers. Clients of all stripes are drawn to Miami, including those traveling under varying circumstances — such as couples looking for hassle-free weekend getaways, families wanting longer stays (perhaps when visiting Florida relatives) and cruisers to and from PortMiami seeking to extend their vacation glow.

Easy Learning 

Along with providing an overview of attractions and how to get around (with a focus on accessibility), the course uses maps and lively imagery to provide tours of the main city districts, surrounding neighborhoods and beach communities that make up Greater Miami and Miami Beach. You’ll learn about the main historical and cultural draws of each area, along with key details regarding accommodations, dining and nightlife. Soon, you’ll know where to send clients to pursue a host of interests — not only the ones mentioned earlier, but also:

  • Golf
  • Fishing
  • Cigars
  • LGBTQ+ events
  • Speedboat rides
  • Zoos and gardens
  • Agricultural tourism
  • Wide-ranging music performances

Help With Planning

Once you know the types of amenities offered in each corner of Miami, you’ll find that itineraries come together easily. This course helps get you started with suggestions for visits of varying lengths for romance travelers, families and LBGTQ+ couples — or any combination of the above.


Now Featuring: Sunny Isles Beach

Amid the high-energy atmosphere that defines Miami, Sunny Isles Beach offers serenity, along with great food and outdoor recreation. Even with its roster of top resorts, the community radiates a hometown feel, making it perfect for leisurely stays.
