Over 900 global travel leaders gather for business, partnerships and growth

WTE Miami 2025 will unite over 300 exhibitors and 600 buyers from more than 50 countries on September 17-18, highlighting airlines, cruises, destinations and innovative travel solutions in Miami Beach.

With exhibitor space nearly sold out and hundreds of participants already confirmed, final preparations are in motion for WTE Miami 2025: US International Travel Market, set to return to the Miami Beach Convention Centre on September 17-18.

In a press statement, the organisers of WTE Miami say that this year’s edition is shaping up to be the most internationally diverse yet, with two days of high-impact networking, destination showcases and industry collaboration expected to drive global travel business forward.

“WTE Miami 2025 brings together a curated mix of international exhibitors, travel innovators and decision-makers in one dynamic marketplace. For visitors, it is a powerful platform to explore new business opportunities, strengthen supplier relationships, and stay competitive in a fast-evolving global travel landscape,” says Javier Pérez Palencia, Director of WTE Miami.

“We recognise tourism as a vital pillar of international trade and economic opportunity. We are proud to support WTE Miami 2025 as it connects global travel leaders, creates new business relationships, and positions Miami as a bridge between continents,” says Ivan Barrios, President and CEO of WTCM.

The statement adds that a growing list of major airline partners underscores the event’s importance. Delta Air Lines will return as the Official Partner Airline, reaffirming its commitment to the show’s highly focused, business-driven format.

“We are excited to rejoin WTE Miami in 2025. It is a unique platform that brings together the industry’s decision-makers and inspires meaningful conversations about the future of travel. Miami holds a strategic position in the Delta-LATAM Joint Venture, playing a key role in connecting North and South America, and reinforcing our commitment to seamless, cross-continental travel,” says Ignacio Borbolla, Regional Manager at Delta Air Lines.

It adds that Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) also resumes its role as Explorer Sponsor, emphasising WTE Miami’s reputation as a central platform for strengthening international connections within the travel sector.

The organisers say that WTE Miami brings together airlines, cruise lines, DMCs, tour operators, marketing organisations, and travel tech leaders. Its signature B2B matchmaking program remains a trademark feature, offering buyers and exhibitors targeted, high-value meetings that foster sustainable partnerships across the worldwide tourism ecosystem.

According to the statement, countries from Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia will be present, from established players like Brazil to new participants such as Somalia. Brazilian states in particular are strengthening their presence, with Ceará confirming its return and Bahia preparing to make its debut, showcasing a range of cultural, ecological, and adventure-focused tourism experiences.

Miami’s prominence as the world’s cruise capital will be reinforced during the exhibition, with industry leaders like Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and regional port authorities showcasing sector innovations.

Adding a media spotlight, the History Channel will unveil History Travel Solutions, a new multimedia platform linking storytelling with destination marketing to inspire cultural and historical travel experiences across the Americas.

Meanwhile, UMA House by Yurbban South Beach has renewed its role as the Official Hotel of WTE Miami 2025, providing attendees with boutique accommodations just steps away from the Convention Centre.

“We are proud to renew our partnership with WTE Miami. Thanks to our proximity to the venue and the high level of service our guests have come to expect, UMA House is the perfect place to stay during WTE Miami,” says Pablo Veloso, Sales Director at UMA House.
