The MBCC is located in the heart of Miami beach, is one minute from spectacular beaches and 18 minutes from the Miami International Airport. Greater Miami combines a sunny climate and multi-cultural personality with all the amenities of a sophisticated metropolitan area – which is why we elected to host MRO 2011 here. The area has a sub-tropical climate, where the sun shines nearly every day of the year.
Getting Around
The average temperature is 72° - 76° in April, with 84 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline, 67 sqm of inland water, and one of the nation’s largest wildlife preserves in the Everglades. Greater Miami is indeed fortunate to be considered the “Gateway to the World.” Miami International Airport is the second busiest airport in the U.S. and is served by more domestic and international airlines than any other U.S. airport. MIA offers the most extensive air service connecting the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe with more air carriers than any other airport in the Western Hemisphere.
The average cost of a taxi to and from the airport and hotels are:
| Miami Beach | $32.00 |
| Super Shuttle to Miami Beach | $15.00 |
| Downtown | $22.00 |
| Super Shuttle to Downtown | $12.00 |
The major air carrier into MIA is American Airlines (American Hub). Flights per day in and out of MIA total 1,361.
Visitors and guests can take in a wide variety of sights and recreations including gold, fishing, tennis, restaurants, museums and Miami’s distinct neighborhoods!!
