The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel in Southwest Florida has been providing a nurturing environment for creativity, team building and inspiration for centuries, and the destination continues to motivate with its perpetual sunshine, natural beauty and convenient accessibility. The Calusa Indians were the first to discover the area’s charms centuries ago, inspired by miles of coastline and subtropical forests. By the turn of the 20th century, inventors Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone found that Fort Myers in the winter was the ideal muse to fuel creative innovations.
Today, the area provides the perfect team environment for spring training for two Major League Baseball teams, the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins. Meeting professionals and their clients will find inspiration all year ‘round in this remarkable place on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
As the gateway to Southwest Florida, The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel has emerged as a meetings and incentives planner’s choice destination with easy airlift to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), outstanding meeting and convention facilities, a wonderful array of accommodations, and endless recreational options, all adaptable to host any size group. This is far more than a renowned vacation destination, it’s a spoton convergence of assets and attractions that lends itself to creating an unforgettable meetings or incentives experience.
“Our destination is one that inspires creativity and innovation and generates memorable and unique experiences for meeting attendees,” says Tamara Pigott, executive director of the Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau (VCB).
