Trading places: All aboard for Chile

Global Tampa Bay — formerly known as the Tampa Bay Export Alliance — has lined up a sales export mission to Santiago, Chile, in late October and spots for the trip remain available.

The trip continues the trade group’s push for Tampa Bay area companies to tap into the Latin American market. In April, Global Tampa Bay led a similar sales export mission to Mexico City that, according to a press release, yielded about $35.3 million in projected future sales and economic activity for local businesses.
