Depending on where groups are staying, planners might find hotels that make it easier to arrange group shopping excursions.
The Embassy Suites Destin-Miramar Beach, for example, has a Shop Around program that includes transportation, a half-day at the Silver Sands Factory Stores, a half-day at Destin Commons, lunch, dinner and a movie.
West of Fort Lauderdale, the Quality Inn Sawgrass Conference Center offers a shopping package that includes complimentary breakfast and a shuttle to either Sawgrass Mills, Broward Mall or the Swap Shop.
