Florida is a name which evokes images of sun, sea and sand, but it''s not just the climate which makes Florida one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The jewel in the crown of the Sunshine State''s tourist industry is, without a doubt, Orlando, home to some of the most famous amusement parks in the world.

At the very top of that list is Disney World. Disney World is one enormous amusement park broken down into smaller areas of attractions, some of which are world famous in their own right. Disney World hosts the Magic Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon and Disney''s Hollywood Studios to name just a few, and if you''re in Orlando, you can''t miss a trip to Disney World.

Another famous attraction is SeaWorld. SeaWorld is a marine park that is famous for its zoological displays, most notably in the form of dolphin shows. It also features a large amusement park with a world famous water park.

The third of the big three amusement parks in Orlando is Universal Orlando. Like Disney World, Universal Orlando is actually a number of different attractions collected in one place but by far the most famous is ...
... Universal Studios Florida.

In no small part due to the tourists that flock to the city each year, Orlando is a rapidly developing city. It already has the second greatest number of hotels in the USA, with many more on the way. If you''re visiting Orlando, you''re never going to be short of a place to stay. A good tip is not to get a hotel room in one of the amusement parks as you pay a premium for your proximity to the entertainment.

Aside from the amusement parks Orlando is also famous for its arts scene. The city is sometimes known as Hollywood East due to the large volume of films and television shows that are shot there. With a large community of actors based in and around Orlando the theatre scene is really thriving and there are great shows running all year round.

Whilst the majority of tourists head to Orlando in the summer, spring is also a great time to visit. Each year the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival draws touring companies from all around the world, the atmosphere is awesome and there is so much to see and do that you''ll want to return year after year.

Florida is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world and with good reason. Flights across the Atlantic are cheaper now than they have ever been, so if you''re thinking of having a really special holiday this year, look no further than Orlando as your destination.
