Please allow us to take a moment of your time to respond to your concerns and questions about Greater Fort Lauderdale, now that Hurricane Wilma has passed and our clean up and recovery is well underway. Our partners in this incredible hospitality community---hotels, attractions, restaurants and shops---were the first to power up and get back into business, serving our residents and our visitors. It is important that you know how successful we have been in resuming our role, ready to provide the SUNsational service you have come to expect from Greater Fort Lauderdale.
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show at five locations---Bahia Mar Resort, the Broward Convention Center, Las Olas Marina, Marriott Portside Marina and Swimming Hall of Fame Marina welcomed 1,340 exhibitors and thousands of attendees Nov. 3-6, according to Kaye Pearson, president, Show Management.All 1,880 TEAMS Conference attendees (a 99% attendance rate for the travel, event, and management in sports expo) at the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa in Hollywood from November 1-5, enjoyed a beach party at John U. Lloyd State Park , a scenic yacht tour along the Intracoastal Waterway, and lively poolside reception at the Westin Diplomat plus a golf and tennis tournament."All of our planned events at the TEAMS Conference & Expo have been tremendously successful--- even our three outdoor activities, including a beach party and boat cruise. Just a week and a half after Hurricane Wilma, the destination and our host hotel were not only ready to welcome our guests – they completely exceeded our expectations," said Timothy Schneider, publisher of Sports Travel and Association News.
The shops and restaurants and attractions in the downtown Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk A&E district, Las Olas Boulevard, along 17th Street, Downtown Hollywood and the Hollywood Broadwalk, Seminole Paradise at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino are all open for business and pleasure. The 20th Annual Fort Lauderdale Int'l Film Festival runs through Nov. 20 at the AMC Coral Ridge. And remember, King Tut, the Original King of Bling is coming to the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale December 15 through April 23. So order your tickets now at www.kingtut.org/tickets.The bottom line is that more than 90% of our hotels are currently open for business.
The Fort Lauderdale/ Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades are fully operational and nearly everything you would want to see or do in Greater Fort Lauderdale is available.We look forward to welcoming you to Greater Fort Lauderdale.
With warmest wishes,
Nicki E. Grossman
