The mission of the Miami-Dade County Tourist Development Council (TDC) is to serve as a catalyst to promote Miami-Dade County's appeal as a tourist destination by encouraging and investing in outstanding tourism-oriented cultural and special events that distinguish our destination as a world class center for theater, concerts, recitals, opera, dance, art exhibitions, festivals, sports events, film and television originations and other tourist-related activities. The TDC is a nine-member volunteer board created by State statute and County ordinance whose members are appointed by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners and have backgrounds in the tourism industry.

The TDC works in partnership with other tourism-promoting agencies, including the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. The Department of Cultural Affairs serves as staff to the TDC and helps to manage the Tourist Development Council Grants Program that offers funding support on a competitive basis to eligible tourism-oriented events and projects.
