RE:
Partnership between the City and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution approving a Partnership
between the City and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau.
REASONS
During a recent ceremony to dedicate a Beach Access Park to Bill Lone, I had the opportunity to meet the
Senior Vice President of Marketing and Tourism for the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau
(Convention Bureau), Mr. David Whitaker, and discuss the possibility of partnering with the Convention
Bureau to assist the City with its marketing. The Convention Bureau is willing to assign an employee to
City and promote the City as a tourist destination and, in return, the City will provide the Convention
Bureau's employee with an office space and some office supplies, including an office telephone and a
computer.
The Convention Bureau is an internationally recognized entity with links to various marketing groups and
sites that can amplify the City's identity as a preferred tourist destination to potential tourists, business
persons and international travelers. As you all know, our City has become a haven for local tourists and
international travelers. Thus, this is a great opportunity for the City to maximize its exposure to local
vacationers and the world, as well as having a branch office of Convention Bureau at City Hall. To that
end, I am in favor of this partnership.
