GREATER FORT LAUDERDALE CVB. "We want to show people that we celebrate diversity."
Interview to Stacy Ritter, President and CEO of Greater Fort Lauderdale CVB by La Agencia de Viajes Argentina.
The vision of Stacy Ritter, current president and CEO of Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, is to update Florida's destination marketing and communication strategies. Thus, beyond the well-known proposals of sun, beach and gastronomy, the new campaign emphasizes a totally receptive and diverse community.

In this way, he bets that his original perspective will provide Greater Fort Luaderdale with what it needs to improve its position among the most sought-after destinations on the Florida peninsula.
