Here is my current feature for Corporate & Incentive Travel magazine, on meeting and convention news and opportunities in Orlando, Florida, often cited as the nation's top destination for events. Visit Orlando notes that convention sales in fiscal year 2023-24 resulted in an approximately $4 billion impact on the local economy. My story shines a light on how the destination works magic for groups large and small. #gmid #gmid2024 #meetingsmatter #ustravel #mice #meetingsandconventions #corporateandincentivetravel #occc #visitorlando #visitflorida https://lnkd.in/geJwW37w
