Ocean Florida has launched its first travel trade guide, available in print and as a downloadable tool. The 132-page guide brings together insider expertise, tailored itineraries, practical tips and the latest must-see attractions across Florida and the wider USA.
Daniel Ox, co-chief executive and co-founder, Ocean Holidays, said: "Ocean Florida Trade was built to give agents the tools and confidence to sell with ease and to earn more from every booking. This new guide brings that expertise together in one place, making it simpler than ever to inspire clients and secure sales. And this is just the beginning; we're committed to investing further in tools, training and education to keep our trade partners growing with us."
The guide includes helpful advice around the 2026 Fifa World Cup, which is being jointly hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico. Agents can use suggested World Cup itineraries to tactically combine host cities into epic multi-centre trips for their clients. Cruise and stay is also covered, for voyages departing Miami, Tampa, Port Canaveral in Florida and Long Beach, California.
