MIA Director, described WTE Miami as an important platform connecting global tourism stakeholders, facilitating education, and promoting destinations and services.
Simon Press, managing director of WTE Miami, said, “WTE has proven the need for an event in this format, delivering a neutral platform. The objective was to increase the content and value for the industry this year, and WTE has achieved this through the number of exhibitors and conference sessions.” José Luis Galar added, “We want to show that Aragon is much more than a destination waiting to be discovered. It is a region that invites visitors to enjoy authentic
experiences, connect with its history, savor its culinary traditions and discover the diversity of its landscapes and people.” Rose Mary Cortés noted, “What’s really interesting is how travelers are discovering destinations in new ways, with AI becoming part of how they find inspiration and plan their trips. At the same time, they’re looking to get more out of every vacation, whether that means exploring multiple destinations, discovering new experiences, or fitting more activities into one trip.” Ralph Cutié stated, “WTE Miami connects the global tourism community, providing a platform to educate, inspire, network with key industry players, and promote destinations
and services.”
