The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) is a private, not-for-profit sales and marketing organization. It is a private-public partnership with more than 1,000 private business members and four local governments: Miami-Dade, City of Miami Beach, City of Miami and the Village of Bal Harbour.
Made legendary during the whimsical Art Deco era, and again when Crockett and Tubbs of “Miami Vice” thrilled us as they raced across our mysterious streets, Miami has evolved into the world’s premier playground – so much more than it ever was before. Officially called Greater Miami and the Beaches, our destination offers a fascinating blend of cutting edge of urban chic and Old World Florida, its tropical beauty calling to Ponce de Leon like a siren in 1513.
Beyond beautiful world-renowned beaches, Greater Miami and the Beaches offers art, culture, sports, adventure, sophistication and relaxation that appeals to visitors from around the globe. Great year-round weather, top-ranked beaches and the sparkling waters of Biscayne Bay are the backdrops for a cosmopolitan metropolis, pulsing with the rhythms of its diverse population. Boasting a now “grown up” yet playful arts and cultural landscape, renowned nightlife scene and world-class dining and entertainment, Miami invites an eclectic mix of visitors to come out and play — from celebrities to families seeking fun in the sun.
Because there are so many ways to play here, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau hosts Miami Temptations, a series of ongoing monthly promotions by theme (www.MiamiTemptations.com), such as Miami Arts & Heritage (December – January), Miami Health & Wellness (February – March), Miami Attractions & Museums (April – May), Miami Hotels (June – September), Miami Spas (July-August), Miami Spice (August-September) and Miami Entertainment (October – November).
#FoundInMiami is an invitation to go beyond the expected, discover new and unexplored sides of Miami, and of yourself. Go beyond the sun-dappled coastline, and the bustling metropolis stretches into a network of neighborhoods that represent the rich, diverse mix of people who have settled here. Cubans congregated in Little Havana, West Indians converged in Little Haiti, and developers and artists together created the Wynwood arts district — all throughout the city, such micro-regions popped up. Recently, Miami has come into its own with a community that realizes its strength lies in that diversity, and a fresh energy that permeates everything from the food to the architecture to the arts.
