The big game is finally set in stone, and on February 7th the New Orleans Saints will battle the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl 44. Official kickoff time is set for 6:28 EST at Dolphins Stadium in Miami Gardens, being the 10th Super Bowl Hosted in Miami. Miami is one of the most popular Super Bowl destinations in the country and for a good reason, the weather. Sunny South Florida is going to be quite the party this year and the big game is expected to bring much more than just 110,000 crazed fans - it's expected to bring an estimated $400 million in economic activity.

South Florida is always an excellent event venue, and if the Super Bowl itself isn't enough to make fans estatic, the beautiful weather and sub-tropical landscape will surely help; especially for those who make the trek from Indianapolis where the weather is far from desirable in February.

Speaking of South Florida event venues, Charter One Yachts of Fort Lauderdale is available for hosting special celebrations of all sorts. From birthday bashes to weddings at sea and corporate outings, Charter One's Luxury Yachts are one of the finest and most appealing venues to host any special gathering.

Corporate meetings, and international business gatherings are commonly held year round throughout the United States. New York and Chicago are just a couple of the coldest cities who are often home to many of these, especially in the winter months. It really makes us wonder if the persons who plan these gatherings has an agenda to make their employees and affiliates travel cross country to the worst possible weather to suffer together as one.

Large yearly corporate meetings are a neccesity, but can often be very stressful upon the individual - questions are asked which must be answered, numbers are thrown around, plans are put into place, and there is good news as well as bad.

The point is that organizing, planning and executing large meetings like these takes time and costs a lot of money.  Why drag people from around the world to New York in the middle of winter for a 3-day meeting when you could just as easily schedule it for South Florida???  As the majority of the country suffers from unbearable ice-cold temperatures, South Florida is still warm, sunny and beautiful. Good weather and excellent tropical scenery would surely set a better stage for your meeting, and South Florida offers it all and then some. Luxurious hotels, beautiful beaches, unlimited entertainment possibilities and ease of travel are all here for your enjoyment. Major Airports in Miami and Fort Lauderdale offer flexibility with both domestic and international flights with a wide range of airlines serving each location.
