Keeping Greater Miami and Miami Beach top of mind requires showing up where key travel and meetings decisions are made.

Over the last week, #GMCVB teams were in Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas engaging directly with the planners, advisors and industry leaders who influence future meetings, conventions, cruise business and leisure travel to Miami-Dade County.

During @pcmacapitalchapter Business Events Week in D.C., the team participated in a series of activations, including the @visitflorida pickleball tournament, a fashion show featuring meeting planners on the runway, the @pcmahq Visionary Awards, Global Meetings Industry Day and additional networking events with key meeting planners and clients.

On the West Coast, the GMCVB leisure sales team connected with more than 115 @cruiseplanners franchise owners and associates during the organization’s annual Boot Camp in Las Vegas.

These conversations and relationships help generate future business opportunities that support hotels, venues, restaurants and the broader visitor economy across Greater Miami and Miami Beach.

As National Travel & Tourism Week comes to a close, we’re continuing to highlight the people who help shape the visitor experience across Greater Miami and Miami Beach.

Meet Nelson Hernandez, supervisor at @jacksonsoulfood, whose story reflects the hospitality and culture that visitors experience throughout @miamidadecounty.

A Hialeah resident, Nelson takes pride in welcoming guests from around the world and creating an environment where people can enjoy not only the food, but the sense of community that comes with it.

For Nelson, food is one of the most authentic ways visitors experience Miami’s culture, bringing together traditions, flavors and people from different backgrounds around the same table. Through his work, he is able to support his family while helping others connect with the community he calls home.

As National Travel & Tourism Week highlights the impact of tourism across communities, we connected with Wilkinson “Ken” Sejour, owner and operator of @chefcreolemia, whose story reflects the flavors, culture and people that make Greater Miami and Miami Beach unlike anywhere else.

A longtime Little Haiti resident, Ken has served the community through Chef Creole since 1992, building more than a restaurant, creating a place where people come together through food, culture and connection.

For Ken, tourism is not just about visitors seeing Miami-Dade County’s diversity but tasting it. Through every dish, he shares the traditions, energy and spirit that define the community he proudly calls home. Today, that legacy continues with his daughters becoming part of the business and helping carry it forward for the next generation.

His story, and the flavor behind it, is Brought to You by Tourism.

Just in time for National Travel & Tourism Week, May 3 - May 9, 2026, we captured Miami Springs Mayor @walterfajet, sharing his thoughts on tourism being greater than bringing people to Miami-Dade County. It’s about making visitors feel connected to the community that residents proudly call home.

Raised in @cityofmiamisprings , Mayor Fajet reflects on the city’s rich history, from the legacy of aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss and the growth of @iflymia to the outdoor events and community traditions that continue to bring people together today.

He believes tourism should feel like an extension of the community itself, shaped by the people, cultures and stories that make Miami Springs special.

The story of his hometown community is Brought to You by Tourism. Be on the lookout for the mayor’s special welcome message to visitors to follow shortly.
