Miami Travel Agent Expert

Among all the destinations in the United States, Miami stands out as one of my absolute favorites. That is why I love working as a professional Miami travel agent advisor. According to local history, the nickname “Magic City”  was bestowed upon Miami as part of a successful marketing campaign back in 1896. That’s because of the city’s rapid growth over a remarkably short time. Also, Miami serves as a welcome gateway for Latin American travelers. When you’re transiting to or from destinations like Brazil, Mexico, Panama, or the Dominican Republic, Miami is a go-to stopover as well as a great way to enter the U.S.An Introduction to the Magic CityLet me introduce you to all the exciting attractions and activities that Miami offers. For example, if you love art, let me direct you toward the neighborhood of Wynwood - a district bursting with eye-catching murals and antique galleries - all which will transport you back in time. You’ll also love visiting the craft breweries where local artisans convene. Also, LIttle Havana offers an immersive experience into Cuban culture - a place where you can find authentic cigars, traditional guayaberas (Cuban shirts), Cuban artwork, electrifying live salsa entertainment, and some truly incredible Cuban cuisine.  I might suggest beginning your adventure with a cup of cafecito (Cuban coffee) while indulging in delicious pastelitos de guayaba (guava pastries. Also, no visit to Miami is complete without taking a dip in the warm and inviting waters along Miami Beach - with its luxury hotels and pulsating nightlife options. Miami Beach also boasts over 800 Art Deco Buildings - spanning over just one square mile!10 Miami Recommended Attractions and ActivitiesYou’re going to love your visit to Miami.
