Good morning and welcome to WTE Miami 2025! We’re thrilled to see the global travel community gathered here at the Miami Beach Convention Center for what promises to be our most dynamic edition yet. I truly believe this is more than an event. It is a platform for building meaningful partnerships that will shape the future of international tourism.

This year, our show brings together hundreds of exhibitors, destinations, and decision-makers under one roof. Our goal is clear: to create connections that translate into real business opportunities for everyone present. Whether you represent a destination, a buyer, or a travel technology provider, the next two days are designed to help you strengthen existing relationships and establish new ones.

What makes WTE Miami special is the diversity of its participants. From emerging destinations making their debut, to global leaders in aviation, cruising, and hospitality, each reflects the creativity, ambition, and resilience of our industry. Every meeting you have and every conversation you begin has the potential to open new markets, strengthen relationships, and expand your horizons.

I encourage you to make the most of the matchmaking program, discover the new products and services on the floor, and take every chance to connect with your peers. On behalf of our entire team, I wish you a successful and inspiring start to WTE Miami 2025.

At the end of your day, why not take in Miami from a different perspective? We’ve organized Complimentary Miami Night Tours with Big Bus Miami and Caribbean Tours departing from the Miami Beach Convention Center at 5:45 pm today and tomorrow. The evening journey will take you through the art deco highlights of South Beach, the neon-lit buzz of Ocean Drive, and across to sweeping views of the downtown skyline. It’s a perfect way to unwind after the show, discover Miami’s vibrant nightlife, and share the experience with fellow attendees. Don’t miss the chance to discover Miami as part of your WTE Miami 2025 experience.
