Overseas Tiger Transport

The Concierge: Maite Foriasky, the Setai, Miami

The Arrangement: A guest staying at this landmark South Beach hotel was due to relocate to London and asked his girlfriend to go with him. She agreed on one condition: that she could bring her pet tiger with her. Chief concierge Foriasky was enlisted to figure out the logistics. She called the Miami Zoo to find out the rules and restrictions involved in transporting a wild animal overseas and discovered that Orlando Airport was the only Florida airport allowed to transport such a cargo. Foriasky assisted the couple with paperwork, and the animal was successfully flown over within a week. “Last we heard, the couple and their pet were happily settled in their new home in London,” she says.
