In her role, Corrigan will be responsible for promoting Greater Miami and Miami Beach as one of the world’s most distinctive and desired destinations to travel industry professionals throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. She joins a tourism marketing team that includes a global network representing 50 countries, working to develop and implement strategic initiatives throughout the region and foster relationships for international business opportunities.
“Our destination travel numbers reached historical highs this past year, demonstrating that visitor momentum is not slowing down,” said David Whitaker, GMCVB president and CEO.
“It’s anticipated that our international source markets, including Latin America are poised to achieve and surpass prior levels so it’s important to secure someone with Carolyn’s expertise to capitalize on previous and new business opportunities.”
