Naples is a Dream Destination For Many Tourists
A new public relations strategy aimed at bringing in Brazilian tourists and their dollars is underway in conjunction with Palm Beach County to woo 1.5 million Brazilians who visit Miami and Orlando each year. City officials hope to persuade Brazilian tourists to extend their Florida vacations and unwind and relax in Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades, after a busy vacation at the theme parks. The two regions are working together with a San Paolo-based marketing firm to increase awareness of their cities. Brazilians spend $1.3 billion each year in just Miami-Dad County alone.
Naples city officials have plenty to brag about. As most residents and visitors all ready know, Naples’ location on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida is well-known for its high-end shopping, world class restaurants and sophisticated arts and culture scene. As a total destination stop, Naples is primarily known for its appeal to beachgoers and nature lovers.
