Brightline and Discover the World are proud to announce a global strategic partnership aimed at expanding travel trade partnerships for Brightline’s innovative high-speed rail service in Florida. This service connects Orlando and Miami with downtown stops in key cities West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale and Aventura, creating a major connection for tourism and commerce.
As part of this partnership, the Discover team will educate trade partners about Brightline’s product, develop effective trade strategies, and grow sales across North America, Latin America, and key European markets. This collaboration provides an exciting opportunity to showcase how Brightline is opening more travel options for visitors to Florida.
Aiden Walsh, Head of New Business Development at Discover the World, remarked, “We are proud to enter this partnership and to introduce our trade partners to such a fantastic product. Having personally experienced traveling on the high-speed Brightline train, I can say without a doubt that there is no better way to travel between Orlando and Miami! Our trade partners now have a unique opportunity to link Florida’s theme parks, cruise ports, and vibrant cities along this major tourism corridor.”
“The Brightline team looks forward to this collaboration with Discover The World amplifying our brand to a global audience,” shares Brightline VP of Sales Julie Sharenow. “Brightline makes traveling in Florida easier and more enjoyable than ever with comfortable, convenient and eco-friendly experience all the while connecting riders to Florida’s most popular destinations.”
Brightline expanded service to Orlando in September 2023, connecting thousands of guests each day between the “Theme Park Capital of the World” and “Cruise Capital of the World.” The intercity rail service with South Florida downtown stations in West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Aventura and Miami makes it easy to travel between Orlando International Airport and these city centers and their many attractions.
For added connectivity, Brightline recently doubled its Airport Connector Shuttles service connecting Miami International Airport (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) to respective Brightline stations.
Cruise Ports near Brightline stations include Port Miami, Port Everglades and Port of Palm Beach. Cruisers sailing from Port Canaveral can connect to transportation at Orlando International Airport. Travelers from across the globe can book the hospitality-driven rail service to connect to their favorite Central or South Florida destination.
