WTE Miami 2025, the leading platform for travel and tourism companies to access the U.S. market, invites international exhibitors from the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia to showcase their destinations, services, and innovations in Miami, one of the main epicenters of global tourism.
Once again, Miami will become the center of international tourism with the celebration of WTE Miami 2025 in September. True to its motto, “WTE Miami: The US & International Travel Market,” this event consolidates its position as a key global platform designed to promote destinations and connect tourism professionals, suppliers, and decision-makers with key buyers in the US market.
Sponsored by Miami International Airport, Miami-Dade County, and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), WTE Miami 2025 will allow exhibitors to access strategic buyers from North America, providing excellent business opportunities.
During the two-day event, exhibitors from Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and Asia will be able to establish strategic business relationships, directly addressing their growing global interest in expanding into the U.S. market.
WTE Miami: The leading platform for the growth of the tourism industry
With more than 400 exhibitors from over 60 countries, WTE Miami 2025 will feature diverse representation from the travel industry, including airlines, hotels, tour operators, travel technology providers, and tourism boards from around the world.
Unlike other trade shows in the industry, WTE Miami is strategically positioned at the intersection of the North and South American travel markets, also serving as a bridge between the United States and key markets in Europe and Africa.
“WTE Miami is more than a B2B trade show. It's a strategic meeting point where global tourism professionals can connect, collaborate, and expand their presence in the U.S. market,” says Javier Pérez Palencia, Director of WTE Miami. “The strong interest we've received not only from countries in the Americas, but also from African and European exhibitors, confirms Miami's role as a global gateway for business.”
Miami: A Strategic Link for Global Tourism
With excellent connections to key markets in North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe, Miami is today one of the most dynamic tourist centers in the world and an essential meeting point for the international tourism business.
Miami International Airport (MIA) offers direct access to more than 100 international destinations and over 80 U.S. cities, facilitating the connection of passengers from around the world to the U.S. market. MIA is one of the busiest airports internationally, with more than 50 million passengers annually. International travel accounts for 45% of total traffic, a figure that is constantly growing.
To respond to this expansion, MIA is investing $9 billion in an Infrastructure Improvement Plan that will increase capacity and enhance the traveler experience.
“WTE Miami plays a pivotal role in connecting the global travel community, providing a platform to educate, inspire, network with key industry players, and promote destinations and services,” said Ralph Cutié, Director and CEO of Miami International Airport. “Miami and many of the destinations served directly from MIA are key tourism markets. Therefore, it is essential that MIA participate in and support important events like WTE Miami.”
Furthermore, PortMiami, recognized as the “Cruise Capital of the World,” further reinforces the city's role as a global epicenter of tourism.
The best business and networking opportunities
WTE Miami 2025 is designed to maximize exhibitor visibility and facilitate business connections, offering direct access to key decision-makers shaping the future of high-value international travel.
Thanks to its matchmaking platform, exhibitors will be able to connect with the right B2B partners within the vacation, group, and incentive segment, including travel agencies, tour operators, tourism boards, wholesalers, corporate travel management companies (TMCs), airlines, and transportation providers.
Additionally, presentations and panel discussions with industry leaders will provide valuable insights into emerging trends, market developments, and investment opportunities in global tourism destinations.
"If you're serious about expanding your business into the U.S. market, WTE Miami is the place to do it," Pérez Palencia concludes.
