Orlando is a hot spot for tourism in the United States thanks to central Florida theme parks including Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort. In fact, Orlando is the most visited travel destination in America! However, due to the ongoing pandemic, central Florida is struggling to cope with the aftermath of the tourism industry.
In the hope of revitalizing central Florida tourism, Visit Orlando has launched a new advertising campaign called The Wonder Remains.

Note that Visit Orlando also recognizes the risks associated with traveling in the pandemic. The following message appears on the official website:
Please Note: Any public place where people are present carries a risk of exposure to COVID-19 and there is no guarantee that you will not be exposed during your visit. In addition, with a few exceptions, Orange County requires the use of face masks in public places. Social distancing is also strongly encouraged, as recommended by the CDC.

It is clear that Visit Orlando is hoping the new advertising campaign will bring more visitors to the area. “The Wonder Remains” is aimed at those who live in the Southeast and can easily drive to the Orlando area. Analysts have forecast a long and difficult road to recovery for the central Florida hotel industry.
This prediction doesn’t stop Universal, Disney, and other companies from opening new and exciting deals to attract more guests from the theme park. In fact, Disney is building and opening Flamingo Crossings, a brand new, master-planned shopping and dining center.

Next to Flamingo Crossings there is another new retail and mall between Universal and Disney, O-Town West. The new center is extremely convenient for visitors to the theme parks and features new restaurants in central Florida like the White Castle.
