Miami Beach has added another prestigious title to its illustrious collection, being named the “World’s Leading Lifestyle Destination 2023” by the esteemed World Travel Awards. This recognition follows Miami Beach’s previous accolades as “North America’s Leading Beach Destination” and “North America’s Leading City Destination” earlier in the year, solidifying its status as a premier global destination.
Grisette Marcos, Executive Director of the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority, expressed gratitude for the latest accolade, stating, “It is an honour to be named as the World’s Leading Lifestyle Destination of 2023 by the prestigious World Travel Awards after being recognised in two previous categories that represent Miami Beach’s global appeal.”
Miami Beach stands out as a diverse city offering a wealth of experiences for all travellers. From a renowned public art collection and a variety of museums and galleries to globally-recognised luxury hotels, spas, and travel-worthy restaurants, the destination continues to captivate visitors.
Emphasising the city’s commitment to showcasing its best attributes, Miami Beach has embraced immersive technology, including the launch of the EXP Miami Beach Tours App. This app, available on Google Play and Apple, enables users to explore various lifestyle itineraries, such as cultural institution tours, public art tours, art deco tours, LGBTQ+ tours, and more.
In a move that underlines Miami Beach’s dedication to its lifestyle leadership, the destination will participate in the inaugural Open House Miami showcase scheduled for March 1-2, 2024. This event, following in the footsteps of cities like New York, San Diego, and Chicago, aims to open cities, engage communities in conversations about shaping the future, and celebrate historic design and architecture.
Open House Miami will provide complimentary direct access to explore a collection of buildings throughout Miami Beach, offering opportunities for visitors to connect, learn, discuss, and debate with experts and each other. Grisette Marcos anticipates the positive impact of new offerings and experiences, like Open House Miami, in attracting visitors from around the world.
As Miami Beach looks ahead to 2024, the destination plans to enhance its technology resources further, incorporating augmented reality across various owned platforms to showcase the vibrant Miami Beach lifestyle.
