Today’s travel agents are often asked to find their clients a vacation destination that has it all — endless sun and fun, world-class dining, unique experiences and more. In short, everything needed to create vacation memories that will last a lifetime.
Such a destination would be a vacation paradise. Fortunately, that destination exists in southwest Florida: Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades. Florida’s Paradise Coast.
Easy to get to from virtually anywhere — but hard to forget once you’ve been here — Florida’s Paradise Coast truly offers everything your clients are looking for in a warm weather destination. There’s something for every age, every taste and every interest here — award-winning beaches, world-class resorts, endless outdoor adventures, first-class golf courses, exceptional restaurants, vibrant arts and culture, and so much more. Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades is a place where the luxe life meets wildlife – making it a one-of-a-kind destination you can feel confident about recommending.
Here’s a quick look at how one destination can offer so many different experiences and appeal to so many different interests.
Naples: The Luxurious Jewel of the Gulf
Sophisticated, elegant and upscale, Naples will appeal to any client who wants the finest of everything. It is home to beautiful, white sand beaches that are perfect for relaxing under the sun or splashing with little ones in sparkling Gulf of Mexico waters. The city’s walkable downtown is the perfect place to explore, with Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South serving up the best of fine dining, art galleries and upscale boutiques.
Marco Island: A Unique Beachfront Paradise
Just 15 miles south of Naples, Marco Island is surrounded by mangrove-shrouded waterways on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. This one-of-a-kind place combines endless natural outdoor adventures along with all the amenities of high-end beachfront resorts. That means your clients can spend the morning paddleboarding through secluded waterways, and the afternoon being pampered in a luxurious spa. Quiet, unspoiled and beautiful, Marco Island has a flavor all its own.
The Everglades: Unspoiled and Unforgettable
Visitors seeking the ultimate eco-adventure can make their way to the Everglades — the largest remaining subtropical wilderness in the United States. Located just a short drive from downtown Naples, this is a place where your clients can experience a world unlike anything they’ve ever seen before — an unspoiled natural landscape where they can spot exotic wildlife, take a guided kayaking tour or even go on a hair-raising airboat ride. After they’ve worked up an appetite, there’s no better place to experience the world’s freshest seafood. (Pro tip: Be sure to book your clients on a trip to Florida’s Paradise Coast between October and May, when they can experience seasonal stone crab claws in Everglades City.)
