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.
Overnight convention and group meeting travel is also expected to increase 3% in 2005.
