Good morning everyone, and welcome to the final day of WTE Miami 2025.

We’ve already shared an inspiring start to the show. Day 1 has shown the power of collaboration. Today, we continue with more meetings, more networking, and more opportunities to strengthen Miami’s role as a hub for global travel. This is the moment to make those final introductions, follow up on promising conversations, and take full advantage of your one-on-one meetings. These focused exchanges are where lasting relationships begin.

Tourism is not without its headwinds and uncertainties. Yet here in Miami, we’ve seen how cooperation, innovation, and dialogue can help us navigate change and build a stronger future. The true strength of WTE lies in the variety of destinations showcased here, along with the mix of cultures, ideas, and business opportunities. Together, we’re driving growth in tourism and expanding horizons for international partnerships.

As you explore the floor today, don’t miss some of the new and growing presences here at the show. Somalia is making its debut with a high-level delegation to share its tourism development plans. Honduras is highlighting its Caribbean coast, Mayan heritage, and eco-adventure experiences. From Brazil, the state of Ceará returns while Bahia joins us for the first time—underscoring the country’s expanding commitment to this event. Also, don’t miss ProColombia’s large presence, showcasing custom travel experiences and investment opportunities that highlight Colombia’s growing tourism and business expansion.

I want to thank all our sponsors and partners who have made this edition possible. In particular, Miami International Airport and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau have been instrumental in positioning our city as a gateway to the world. I would also like to extend my gratitude to every exhibitor who has brought their destination, service, or innovation to Miami, and to all the visitors whose presence and participation give WTE Miami its energy and impact.

Let’s finish strong and ensure the connections made here continue to grow long after the doors close this evening. They’re the foundation for what comes next.
