Win With Pro & Collegiate Sports
Between professional sports teams, the state-of-the-art United States Tennis Association National Campus, acclaimed golf courses and tournaments, miles of running terrain, bicycle and hiking trails, pristine fishing spots, hard-hitting sports events, and other outdoor adventures, Orlando is the premier destination for sportspeople of all ages and skill levels.
In fact, basketball and soccer fans might never want to leave. Home to the Orlando City Soccer Club and Orlando Pride teams, the ultramodern Exploria Stadium in downtown Orlando is an unbeatable place to catch MLS and NWSL matches and related events. Also downtown, the Amway Center hosts the NBA’s Orlando Magic, as well as the ECHL’s Orlando Solar Bears and the Arena Football League’s Orlando Predators.
Nearby, Camping World Stadium is home to some of the nation’s biggest college football competitions, including January’s Citrus Bowl, November’s Florida Blue Florida Classic, and December’s Cheez-It Bowl, with December’s Cure Bowl taking place at Exploria Stadium.
Open to the public, and less than 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport, the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona invites tennis enthusiasts of all skill levels and ages to watch, learn and play at one of the world’s largest tennis facilities. Meanwhile, golfers will appreciate our large assortment of courses — including many designed by legends like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman and Tom Fazio.
Whether your clients want to get in the game or watch pros work their magic, they are bound to win in Orlando.
Explore Orlando’s Greater Outdoors
In the heart of Florida — a state named for flowers and sunshine — Orlando’s natural beauty serves as the perfect counterbalance to the destination’s signature theme park fun. Ecotours, natural springs, birding, nature trails, fishing, kayaking, airboat rides and lots of thrills are some of the many options for exploring Orlando’s great outdoors. Whether peacefully paddling through spring-fed lakes or hang-gliding 2,000 feet above orange groves, your clients can dive into a variety of lush ecosystems, all within driving distance of the tourism districts.
As migration patterns send scores of wildlife south in colder weather, Orlando’s moderate climate becomes a popular haven for birds and those who love to watch them. Tranquil and enchanting, Orlando’s many opportunities for kayaking and canoeing are also not to be missed, including guided tours of the Headwaters of the Florida Everglades.
Crystal-clear waters make for perfect scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming and fishing — not to mention manatee encounters — and visitors can find all four at several pristine natural springs less than an hour’s drive from Orlando. Or, they can head deep into the swamp with airboat rides offering dazzling views and up-close looks at native fauna while gliding across tranquil wetlands at up to 50 mph.
For hiking, bicycling and other outdoor activities, Orlando’s many nature parks and preserves offer a treasure trove of wildlife. And with so many miles of pristine waterways in Orlando, anglers of all ages can look forward to casting lines while they’re here.
These and other factors make it easy to go wild in Orlando. Help your clients experience it all the next time they visit.
Sensational Shopping
Orlando is a shopper’s paradise like no other. The sort of place where the world’s most coveted brands compete for attention in wondrous settings that are more theme park than retail center. A destination where browsing the latest fashions can lead to unexpected discoveries, from wands that unlock surprising secrets to artifacts of a fabled galaxy far, far away — and all within a 15-mile radius of our attractions.
From the best in high-end luxury to hard-to-find rarities, it’s all waiting at Orlando’s premier shopping malls. Minutes from Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld® Orlando, The Mall at Millenia focuses on luxury boutiques and in-demand brands. Central Florida's largest shopping center, The Florida Mall®, boasts market exclusives and best-of-brand retailers near Walt Disney World® Resort and Orlando International Airport.
Your clients won’t even have to drop a lot of money to shop in Orlando thanks to three outstanding outlet malls close to the theme parks. Near Walt Disney World® Resort, Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores has 50 of the world’s best-known outlets. On International Drive, Orlando International Premium Outlets® has everything from luxury brands to value and outlet pricing, while its sister location, Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets®, has choices for every itinerary, budget and style.
Meanwhile, eclectic boutiques in Winter Park and downtown Orlando provide numerous reasons for shopaholics to venture out of our tourism districts, including national brands, local favorites, antique stores, vintage clothing shops and more. Don’t let your clients forget about Orlando’s walkable outdoor entertainment districts, either, including Disney Springs®, Universal CityWalk, ICON Park® and Pointe Orlando. Who says shopping isn’t a sport?
Uplifting Arts & Culture
The arts come alive in Orlando — and often in ways that defy reality. From the best of Broadway and ballet to thought-provoking collections and traveling exhibits, the destination offers a captivating blend of traditional, contemporary and even never-before-seen artistry and culture for your clients to explore, including many that are exclusive to The City Beautiful.
The crown jewel of Orlando’s arts scene, downtown Orlando’s Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts produces hundreds of shows every year. The lineup includes Broadway productions, chart-topping musicians, marquee comedians, family entertainment and much more. And now, there’s a wondrous new reason to make the Dr. Phillips Center part of any Orlando getaway: Steinmetz Hall, an acoustically remarkable, multifunction space that can achieve an N1 sound rating, which is the lowest level at which humans can detect sound.
Other performing arts venues in the downtown area include The Plaza Live, Timucua Arts Foundation, Renaissance Theatre and the all-new Fringe ArtSpace. The latter is operated by Orlando Fringe, which produces the longest-running fringe theatre festival in the U.S. every May.
That event is primarily held in nearby Loch Haven Park, which is also home to Orlando Shakespeare Theater, the Orlando Repertory Theatre, and more. The fact is, exceptional performing arts await all over town, including nearby Winter Park and Winter Garden.
Your customers can also explore Orlando’s past — all 12,000 years of it — and see more amazing artistry at museums and galleries throughout the area. Help your clients be amazed by these and other acclaimed cultural offerings the next time they’re in Orlando.
