Visit Lauderdale, the official destination marketing organization for Greater Fort Lauderdale has launched its new VIP Passport for travel advisors to discover special deals and not-to-be-missed attractions in the Florida coastal destination.

Travel professionals must complete a brief online training session on Lauderdale Loyalist, Visit Lauderdale’s official interactive learning platform for travel advisors. They will then receive an access code via a mobile device and an email for immediate use. There is no app to download and The Lauderdale Loyalist Passport may also be saved on the mobile phone’s home screen for an easier way to access deals and special promotions.

Upon arriving at a participating Fort Lauderdale businesses, travel advisors present a coupon on their mobile device to the attendant or staff member to receive the available discounts.

“Travel advisors are one of our greatest allies and their influence is exponential,” said Stacy Ritter, president and CEO of Visit Lauderdale. “It makes perfect sense to offer them special savings which will allow them to explore Greater Fort Lauderdale while being able to curate personal experiences for their clients.”

The mobile pass features a collection of local waterway cruises, museum visits and outdoor adventures along with ongoing additions travel advisors can redeem. Offers on The VIP Passport will be accessible during limited time frames and each experience can be redeemed only once during that period.

Travel advisors can access more information on the Lauderdale Loyalist Pass site.
