According to its tourism motto, Fort Lauderdale welcomes “Everyone Under the Sun.” And naturally, Canadians rank high among that “everyone.”  In a message addressed directly to Canadian travel advisors, Stacy Ritter, President and CEO of Visit Lauderdale, said, “We look forward to welcoming you and your clients to Greater Fort Lauderdale. We deeply appreciate our Canadian visitors, who not only embrace all that our destination has to offer but also show great respect and love for our community. Their presence enriches our local culture and strengthens the deep-rooted connection between Canada and Greater Fort Lauderdale.
