WHY INVEST IN ORLANDO?

Orlando Is The Number One Tourist Destination


Floridians love Orlando due to its proximity to so many other places of importance. It is the center of the state making it easy for anyone to either head East or west of the coast within the hour. You can reach the farthest destination within 90 minutes. Frequent trips to Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and Tampa are often too common. If we say Real Estate is about location, then Orlando is a prime example. Not only is Orlando a great location, Orlando is the number one tourist destination in the world having more than 57 million visitors a year generating 28 billion in revenues. The 57 million visitors are made up of approximately 43 million domestic travelers, 10 million business travelers and 4.3 million international travelers.

One of the most influential reasons why people want to live in Orlando is the weather. Known for its almost year round warm and tropical climate, Orlando is a home to countless snowbirds that have had enough of bone chilling temperatures of their hometown.

With this being said, Orlando is unique that it has 52 weeks rental season. With the projection of growth and the baby boomers hitting retirement age, Orlando will be a hot spot to own a second home or an investment home in both the regular and the luxury market.

Orlando is very unique in a sense that it has both worlds: attraction and business. Orlando is not only home to Walt Disney World, the number one tourist attraction in the world, but also the home to the second largest convention center in the nation – the Orange County Convention Center. Lake Nona medical city and the University of Central Florida promising to attract thousands of students worldwide. If Walt Disney world is not enough, there is Universal Studios Orlando featuring the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and SeaWorld Orlando, Holly land and legoland. Orlando is also proud to have many cutting edge and fortune 500 companies, and as of 2006, Orlando is a home of three fortune 1000 company headquarter. Plus, Orlando boasts high-end outlet shopping, exciting nightlife, and world-class restaurants.

Orlando has a lot to be proud of; the diversity of the region's population is often touted an asset to companies who seek a broad, multi-lingual workforce to effectively compete in today's global economy. The region's diversity was recently recognized by Forbes when they named Orlando as one of "America's newest immigrant capitals" and the #5 spot for immigrants. The reason? Forbes cites plentiful jobs. And while many know Orlando as a tourism destination, the region is also home to a vibrant $13.4 billion technology industry in fields such as photonics and optics, modeling and simulation, digital media and many others. The work force is vibrant and culturally diverse. Orlando keeps attracting people from all corners of the world giving it a a feeling of a melting pot city.
