Tourism board Visit Orlando will be exhibiting at this year’s London World Travel Market on stand S3-222.
Orlando is the most visited destination in the United States, Theme Park Capital of the World®, and the No. 1 meeting destination in the country. The tourism board looks to highlight these key messages as well as a variety of talking points going into 2024, including accessibility, the newest openings inside and outside of the parks, affordable Orlando, and lesser-known experiences.
Orlando is constantly evolving with plenty of new openings and additions planned for the end of 2023 and into 2024.
