. . . Florida's Show



Wow!
Tampa Bay was a huge success!

Here is what our clients are saying
:

"After returning to Florida Huddle as a delegate after several years, it was great to see the show has survived the test of time and resurfaced as one of the key travel trade events. This year's Huddle provided the Orlando CVB with great business sessions as well as fun, hosted evenings for networking with key clients and industry colleagues. Congrats Tampa Bay for a great job!"
Nancy Hahn Bono
Orlando CVB


"Huddle is a great platform to kick start the New Year; not just to re-new contracts for the following year, but to source new product options as well. Of course it is made all the more convenient having industry representatives brought together under one roof."
John Taker
Purchasing Director
Virgin Holidays


"Thank you very much for everything we had experienced at Florida Huddle it is worth every second!!"
Marcos Craviero, Editor
MC Produces, Brazil


"Lynn: Just so you know Huddle was a huge success for our destination this year and I am aware of at least 12 contracts that have been signed by hotels in our destination plus 3 FAMS out of it for future and a few site visits. We definitely want to do next year what we did this year for Florida Huddle for our team. I already have 10 partners signed up to join me next year in the CVB booth so we will take 5 booth spaces next year! We plan to do a post Huddle FAM as well.
I hope you will have a best booth contest next year and encourage everyone to keep up the good standards. Thanks for all.
Best Regards for a job well done."
