Combined domestic and international arrivals to central Florida are expected to increase 5% next year.
“Arrivals from the United Kingdom are expected to lead the increase in international visitors,” said a report from the area’s CVB.
“Orlando will also see growth from its other top international markets,” the report says, which includes Canada, Germany, Argentina and Brazil.
