AMENDMENDED PROJECT DESCRIPTION
EXHIBIT 1
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION OF NEED
The LGBT Community is one of the largest minority groups resident to Miami-Dade County.
With an estimated local spend of over$8 billion(source:Witeck Combs/Harris Interactive),the
City of Miami Beach has long recognized the importance of this market. Tourism is a major
economic driver on the beach and, LGBT travelers long ago found Miami Beach to its liking.
However, with an ever-growing list of competitors in the market, we need to work better and
harder to retain and grow this important market. The Miami-Dade Gay& Lesbian Chamber of
Commerce("MDGLCC")has included in its Mission Statement the importance of tourism to its
membership and, the local economy. With over 30 percent of its membership in the hospitality
market on the beach,it is vitally important that the needs of business(and the City)are address
in our business plan.
Key to distinguishing ourselves from other competitors in this market are:
• The Pink Flamingo Hospitality Certification Program (based on market availability)
• Hospitality Council—A monthly meeting of chamber hospitality members(virtual or in-
person), city officials, industry partners and, LGBT organizations which hold event in
the City of Miami Beach to discuss ways to retain and attract LGBT Tourism; discuss
City initiatives and, create tracking mechanisms to support VCA grant requirements.
• Hospitality Council Newsletter—a monthly news and, analytics communication for the
industry highlighting accommodations, leadership, trends and, meeting information.
• LGBT Visitor Center — a local resource for locals and visitors providing information,
safe space and,activities.We are the only organization in Miami-Dade providing these
(and more) resources dedicated towards this market
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Our 2021 initiative will include the continuation of our unique Pink Flamingo Hospitality Training
Program, our monthly Hospitality Council Meetings and Newsletter,the operation of our LGBT
Visitor Center and, LGBT Organizational support for events which may take place in the City
of Miami Beach(White Party,Winter Party, Miami Beach Pride, Sizzle Miami Beach and,Aqua
Girl).
LOCATION
Location of Chamber and LGBT Visitor Center are located at 1130 Washington Ave, Miami
Beach, FL 33139. Hospitality programming and, activities take place within the entire city
