The columns and shear walls through the 5th floor have been completed at the site and are visible to many Brickell Avenue and Downtown Miami office dwellers.

Miami is Raising the Bar on Customer Service

Tourism officials launch program to improve customer service - Miami Today

"High-end guests bring high expectations," Maria Sastre, chairwoman of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau

Miami-Dade County tourism officials are investing in a program to raise the level of customer service and friendliness. These officials believe that their office has succeeded in attracting "coveted customers;" however, it now faces the challenge of keeping them. So officials have decided to spend $150,000 to fund a campaign to elevate the level of customer service among tourism workers.

"I love Miami. I spent two of my most important years here. It was here that I learned to think on my feet. I also got a glimpse of what the town would become. But when I was here, South Beach was just a little collection of hotels for little old ladies and little old men," states CBS News anchor Katie Couric in a promotional spot to kick off this tourism campaign.

Sastre maintains that Miami has world-class hotels, a world-class airport and with the addition of the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts, Miami now needs to focus on the soft-sell market.
