Miami Beach, Fla. – The Beach Miami broke up with the spring break last year, and the city leaders are still not interested in counseling with couples.

Officials recently published that they returned improved security measures for practically the month of March, including parking restrictions and increased non-resident fees.

New rules were introduced last year after three consecutive years Spring breaking violence. The city is again Warning Visitors I expect police alliances, search bags on the beach, early closures on the beach, checkpoints of DUI and arrests for possession of drugs and violence.

“Last year’s spring break was success at any level you measured it,” said the mayor of the beach Miami Steven Meiner. “We had zero deaths, zero shootings, zero stampedes. Most of our companies seemed very well and actually thanked us to the measures we undertaken.”

Most spring breakthrough activities about 10 block stretches the ocean drive known for its Art Deco hotels, restaurants and nightclubs. Before spring interruption last year, city officials launched a marketing campaign that said, “Miami Beach breaks up with a spring break.” The video contained “fall apart” residents with spring switches and warn them to expect restrictions if they decided to come anyway.

This year officials followed with a “Verification of reality” Video with a group of young people on a fictional reality shows that their spring break has ruined improved city rules.

“We broke up the spring vacation,” Meiner said. “Some ask, come back together? No, we’re done.”

City leaders want to come visitors and enjoy beaches, hotels and restaurants, as long as they behave, said Meiner, noting that the total occupation of the hotel actually increased 2023. years. Years.

“And that’s because you approached the ocean and the southern beach, you were welcome, you felt safe,” Meiner said.

Miami Beach is not the only city city of Florida for spring violated this year. Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Tampa are among the top 10 domestic destinations in the spring, according to the AAA reservation data.

After the weekend for the Dayty weekend at Daytona Beach, Volusia County Sherif Mike Chitwood recently announced plans for shooting bad behavior from spring partitions.

“They don’t make any financial benefits,” Chitwood said. “Everything they do is bring chaos and if they want to bring chaos, I will bring chaos in return.”

Some business owners in Miami Beach are needed to ensure public safety, while others are concerned to ride spring switches can irreparably damage the status from Miami beach as an iconial tourist destination.

Louis Taic, Hotel owner Z Ocean, said he greeted visitors in Miami beach at any time of the year, but he understands why city officials have taken on actions they have.

“What I don’t like are people who exploit the beach in Miami, who exploit things that do things here that would never do at home,” Taic said.

David Wallack, the owner of the tropical cafe of Mango, said Miami Beach succeeded as a destination for entertainment for almost a century, even through a ban and a great depression.

Instead of trying to scare people, city officials should organize events such as concerts, art festivals and sports events to attract people who will spend money, Wallack said.

“Miami Beach is magical, but you have to further give customers to what they want,” Vallack said.

Some civil rights advocates believe that restrictions are racially motivated.

The south beach has become popular among black tourists about two decades ago as promoters organized urban beach over the weekend during the memory. Many locals complained of violence and other crimes associated with the event, which led to the increased presence of the police. But the event is continued to be constant popularity in correlation in the protrusion in black tourism throughout the year.

Stephen Hunter Johnson, a lawyer and a member of the Miami-Dade Council, said that city leaders use a short spike in violence as an excuse for discouragement of black visitors.

Most of the problems of the beach Miami recent years have started during the pandemic, when Florida remained open, and other popular tourist destinations around the United States, and officials are unfairly lending in the new spring-renowned restriction last year, Johnson said.

“The arrests were lowered, and no one was shot,” Johnson said. “These things showed up anyway, because we move on from women’s restrictions, which are normalized things.”

Meiner repeatedly rejected the idea that the restrictions were racially motivated. He always hates the idea of ​​anyone to get hurt, but as a chosen officer feels an additional sense of responsibility when people are shot and killed in town, he said.

“We’ll keep people safe,” Meiner said. “Law and order is a number of one priority in our city. There is no compromise on it.”
