South Florida Set to be Next E-Commerce Hub
| As the busiest airport for international frieght, with more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport, Miami International Airport (MIA) is strategically positioned to leverage the e-commerce boom responsible for $2.29 trillion in worldwide sales in 2017 – a figure that is projected to double in the next four years. Join us at the Florida Chamber’s Florida International Trade & Investment Conference on May 30 in Miami, and hear from a panel of industry experts on how logistics, financial and technology sectors are evolving to meet the growing demand for access to e-commerce platforms and on-demand delivery, and how Florida can capitalize on this opportunity. |

| In January, MIA and the Brazillian Post Office launched Compra Fora (Buy Outside) – a first-of-its-kind, expedited shipping service that allows e-commerce packages from anywhere in the world to be shipped to MIA, be pre-cleared and arrive in Brazil within days instead of what used to take weeks or months.
