WHY MIAMI

Miami is an international city at Florida's southeastern tip. The City is one of the state's – and the world’s – most popular vacation spots. Its Cuban influence is reflected in the cafes and cigar shops that line Calle Ocho (8th Street) in Little Havana. On barrier islands across the turquoise waters of Biscayne Bay is Miami Beach, home to South Beach. This glamorous neighborhood is famed for its colorful art deco buildings, white sand, surfside hotels, and trendsetting nightclubs.
