Florida Huddle
Florida Huddle is the premier appointment-based trade show that showcases all that Florida has to offer for domestic and international tour operators and wholesalers. One of VISIT FLORIDA’s signature events, Florida Huddle is perfectly timed for success and is a contracting cornerstone for hundreds of buyers. Every region of Florida is under one roof, with destinations, attractions, hotels and resorts prepared to network and conduct business. In a continuous effort to support the Sunshine State’s competitiveness through tourism, the goal of Florida Huddle is to connect international tour operators and wholesalers one-on-one with Florida suppliers and therefore provide a return on investment (ROI) to Florida by way of increased international travel and bookings in the state of Florida.
