BEACH FLEXES MUSCLES
ON TOURISM DECISIONS
As in-line skaters glide down Ocean Drive and tourists leave their Deco
rooms to sip cool drinks in open-air cafes, one can almost hear the steady
sound of South Beach cash registers ringing.
Miami Beach tourism has found its place in the sun. And, as tourism tax
dollars grow, city leaders have decided they no longer will take a back seat
to Dade ' s tourism executives across the causeway. Instead, they want to be at
the wheel .
"Miami Beach is a vital part of the Dade tourism partnership, and until
recently, the Greater Miami power structure did not respond to that, " said
Tony Goldman, owner of South Beach' s Park Central Hotel and board member of
the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. "We contribute a significant
amount of tourism tax dollars; we are the primary reason that people come to
Greater Miami; we are what drives Dade ' s tourism train. "
