The newly launched Greater Miami and the Beaches Specialist program builds upon PortMiami’s identity as a top gateway to adventure and illustrates that much of the novelty people seek overseas can be found in this energetic, diverse American city and its neighborhoods.

You will learn how to harness Greater Miami’s bountiful attractions into tempting vacations for explorers of all sorts, from outdoor enthusiasts to foodies to art lovers.

A Coastal Haven Like No Other

Even on a cruise, chances are your clients wouldn’t visit beaches quite like Miami’s South Beach or encounter urban nightlife like that of Downtown Miami. Or maybe they would like to cycle past lighthouses, play virtual sports in an interactive museum or meander through the gardens of a Gilded Age estate? Or maybe they long for the rhythm of the Bahamas or to sample Cuban and Haitian culture but can’t go abroad?
