CATEGORY Realized Miami s competitive set has expanded not just to other major cities, but second tier ones too. 4

BRAND We dug into perceptions and misconceptions Miami is associated with destinations like Los Angeles & Las Vegas that are viewed narrowly I don't know that Miami has a lot to offer me outside of beaches and clubbing. I would like a vacation that is more substantive in terms of culture. I heard it s very culturally similar to LA, and I hate LA s culture. [it seems] like a shallow place, very focused on materialism. I think of it as a flashy city, I just see dollar signs everywhere. 5

CONSUMER SECTION We discovered what travel means today Travel is a way to discover experience other cultures I see travel as an opportunity to see how other gay communities exist David R Travel makes a statement about who you are I like going to German colonies in central Texas, because it s completely unique Sara B Travel is about finding moments of authenticity What s important is I like to do things that locals do. I really enjoy the mom n pop shops, and getting really good food for a decent price -Melissa C Travel is curatorial We ve already started to get ready for Dubai I know the pictures I want to take. So like, Future has a song that goes, go to Abu Dhabi for a hobby so I gotta find the right attire, and it s gonna be [a photo] with shopping bags, an off-guard photo in a mall. I m going to make it happen Tiana C 6

CONSUMER Uncovered different traveler types Assessed key opportunities (though we want to attract them all) Culture-seekers Adventure addicts Relaxers Socially-inclined Habit-formers Want to experience new things, explore, and feel like a local Want to live life to the max, seize spontaneous opportunities and build a bank of crazy stories Want to plan as little as possible, find inclusive activities, and be comfortable Travel for the company more than the destination, flex to others whims, cherish shared experiences Love one thing above all else, loyal after just one trip, enjoys familiar luxuries 7

I don't know that Miami has UNTAPPED OPPORTUNITY a lot to offer me outside of beaches and clubbing. I would like a vacation that is more substantive in terms of culture. Miami must earn an ownable cultural equity to attract culture seeking travelers Anonymous 8
