¿Sos joven latino y quieres empezar una carrera llena de oportunidades, aprendizajes y beneficios? (Dubai es el destino)

(Por M.G. Maurizio, Máximo Maurizio, con la colaboración de M. Mauvecin desde Dubai) Hoy, para miles de jóvenes latinos con oficio, hambre de progreso y capacidad de adaptación, Dubái está empezando a jugar el rol que Miami jugó para América Latina en los 90 y 2000: puerta de entrada, ascensor social y escenario de reinvención.

Lido Beach: ¿la otra playa más bella de Florida? (¿por qué este paraíso natural aún lo ocultan en el top mundial?)

(Por Maurizio y Maqueda) Ubicada en la vibrante costa oeste de Florida, Lido Beach se erige como un tesoro natural que cautiva a quienes tienen el privilegio de visitarla. La gran pregunta es… ¿sigue casi oculto porque parte de su atractivo es que no sea masivo?, quizás por que es tan linda, que quienes la visitan constantemente quieren que permanezca oculta.

Santa Rosa Beach: el secreto mejor guardado (y más rentable) de Florida que Miami aún no termina de dimensionar

(Por Vera-Maurizio) En un estado donde el ruido mediático suele concentrarse en Miami, Orlando o Tampa, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida —en el noroeste, sobre la mítica Emerald Coast y el corredor Scenic Highway 30A— juega otra liga: la de la belleza silenciosa, el lujo sin estridencias y una economía turística que entendió antes que muchos el negocio del “slow travel” premium.

Cape San Blas: el “lujo sin cartel” del Panhandle que está redibujando el mapa turístico de Florida (y que Miami aún no explota)

(Por Vera - Maqueda) Mientras el algoritmo global insiste en los mismos nombres —Miami Beach, Key West, Orlando, incluso el corredor 30A—, en el noroeste de Florida sucede algo más sofisticado: Cape San Blas (Gulf County, cerca de Port St. Joe) se consolida como uno de los destinos más codiciados por quienes buscan belleza radical, privacidad real y naturaleza con estándares casi científicos.

(Por J. Romanazzi y M. Maurizio) En 2025, en el corazón del ecosistema de negocios más dinámico de las Américas, estas diez notas de InfoNegocios Miami no solo generaron miles de lecturas; se convirtieron en artefactos culturales, en puntos de referencia en las conversaciones de alto nivel, desde los boardrooms de Brickell hasta las terrazas de Wynwood, desde Madrid, hasta Buenos Aires.  Estas notas cambiaron la visión porque tienen algo más que solo “la noticia”.

Haulover Beach y el "nuevo lujo desnudo": cómo el nudismo en Florida se convirtió en la industria millonaria que todos quiere ver

(Por Vera, con la colaboración de Maurizio) En un estado donde el exceso es moneda corriente, la última frontera del lujo no es lo que se exhibe, sino lo que se deja de exhibir. Mientras Miami construye rascacielos más altos y yates más largos, una industria paralela —silenciosa, sofisticada y sorprendentemente rentable— crece a ritmo del 12% anual: el turismo nudista premium.
