Celebrate National Travel & Tourism Week 2021: How Orlando Residents Can Champion Local Tourism
As the world returns to normal, find out how you can help support tourism and Orlando’s economy during National Travel & Tourism Week 2021 (ICON Park® pictured).
Tourism is undeniably Orlando’s top industry, driving jobs, cultural enrichment, and world‑class events. We proudly call ourselves the Heart of Tourism.
Over the past year, Visit Orlando has worked tirelessly to position Central Florida as the nation’s premier healthy travel destination. As we rebuild and reconnect, we’re ready to safely welcome travelers worldwide. Why? Because tourism fuels:
- Employment across all ages and career stages.
- Arts and culture, including the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, and sports projects such as the expansion of Camping World Stadium.
- Access to spectacular resorts, theme parks, dining, and entertainment right in our backyard.
That’s why National Travel & Tourism Week (May 2‑8, 2021) matters more than ever. We’re spotlighting the industry’s positive impact on social media and inviting Orlando residents to join the celebration. Whether you’re an industry professional or a local patron, your participation is essential.
