The Island Of Aruba was the title sponsor and has been asked to return next year, during the South Florida Meeting Professionals International installation dinner, reports Pamela Shepherd, Regional Director of Sales, Aruba Convention Bureau.
Pam reports that the Aruba presentation and video received many accolades and that a numbers of the 150 invited guests came up to her during the evening enquiring about the upcoming SEA conference here, in September. Miami is a key-market for Aruba considering the many direct flights available between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, explains Pam. It is also an important market for Aruba in view of the fact that many of the hotel partners have their regional US offices in the Miami area.
Also in attendance at the installation dinner Wichita Vilacres with ECO Destination management and representatives of the Occidental Grand Aruba, the Radisson Aruba Resort Casino & Spa, Forest Travel, Intraworld Incentives, and ADT Securities considering the island for a 2010 incentive trip.
