With an estimated local county spend of over $9 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 over- growing list of competitors in the market and a declining nightlife presence on the beach, 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 approximately 30 percent of its membership in the hospitality market on the beach, it is vitally important that the needs of the business community (and the City) are addressed in our business plan. Key to distinguishing ourselves from other competitors in this market are. • The Pink Flamingo Hospitality Certification Program (application based and available to MDGLCC membership). • Hospitality Council - A monthly meeting of chamber hospitality members (virtual or in -person), city officials, industry partners and LGBT organizations which hold events 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. Key partners in this council include the City of Miami Beach, the GMCVB, the Miami Beach VCA, the Miami Beach Convention Center, and the GMBHA. • Hospitality Council Newsletter - a monthly news and analytics communication for the industry highlighting accommodations, leadership, trends, and meeting information, • LGBT Visitor Center - a resource for locals and visitors providing information, safe space and activities. We are the only organization in Miami -Dade (less than 5 in the world) providing these (and more) resources dedicated to this market. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Our 2024-25 initiative will include the continued roll -out of our updated Pink Flamingo Hospitality Certification Program, our monthly Hospitality Council Meetings and Newsletter, the operation of our LGBT Visitor Center and, LGBT Organizational support for events that take place in the City of Miami Beach (URGE, Winter Party, Miami Beach Pride, Outshine Film Festival, Orgullo among others). In addition, the LGBT visitor center hosts art exhibits of international and local LGBT artists, Pridetines youth -focused initiatives including HIV/AIDS/STD testing, recovery group meetings after hours and meetings related to the events taking place in Miami Beach. We also support the efforts of the Miami Page 16 Docuv,n Envelope ID: 07atM3171-C6134515-9E2C-AO1FA086BC92 Beach Visitor & Convention Authority, the GMCVB's LGBTQ outreach, and the City of Miami Beach's LGBTQIA+ Advisory Committee.
