Within the next few years, Florida’s tourism industry is expected to bring in over 100 million visitors as a goal for being the number one tourism destination on the planet. Several events throughout 2013 are looking to help bring in tourists for their goal of surpassing two of its contenders, California and France. Along with major theme parks opening up new Orlando attractions, Florida is also celebrating its 500th anniversary!
The quincentennial celebration is set to kick off an ad campaign that gives visitors an inside look into Florida’s culture and history, dating back to when the Spanish explorers set foot on the land. Florida resident and celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse also kicked off his new show, Emeril’s Florida, which highlights Florida’s restaurants and food, along with unique attractions. Perhaps he can make a stop to our Orlando attractions? We can only hope!
With the tourism industry lacking funds throughout the past decade, Florida’s legislation is expected to help tourism marketing efforts with a $75 million allocation of funds. For Wild Florida this means we could see an increase of visitors from around the world to our Orlando attractions! The tourism industry in the Sunshine State employs over 1 million Floridians, and the push towards increasing tourism will help bring in more jobs.
At Wild Florida we provide tourists and travelers with Orlando attractions that are both unique and exciting for people of all ages.
