| Message From the President & CEO |
|
| |
|
| Sending out our What’s Happening newsletter a few days early which allows our team and I to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.
And of course, there’s not a better opportunity to give thanks for so much that we can be appreciative of and grateful for. While we remain thankful that our destination and many of our partners enjoyed the strong rebound, we experienced last year, it’s even more encouraging that year-to-date (January through October) Greater Miami & Miami Beach continue to build upon this momentum. Now with ten full months in the books, overall hotel occupancy increased 10% over last year’s comparable level at this point – this accomplished with 3.3% more hotel inventory added (13 new hotels have opened in the past 10 months).
