Scenes from Orlando Tourism: Welcoming Visitors Post-Irma

As the most-visited travel destination in the United States, the Orlando tourism community was quickly up and running post-Hurricane Irma, hosting eager visitors from around the world. Due to a strong tourism infrastructure that hosts an average of 500,000 visitors a day, the region maintains a high level of preparedness for storms and historically resumes operations soon after.

Immediately after the storm, the hospitality industry began quickly clearing debris and returning the destination to normal business operations. Within a matter of days, all of the major theme parks were operational, as were both airports and Orlando’s wide range of attractions, hotels and restaurants.

The below gallery includes current video and photos of actual guests throughout the destination over the last few days for a real-time look at the area.

Visitors can find updated information and more real-time photos of the destination through the official visitor information organization and tourism association, Visit Orlando. This includes updates on social media @VisitOrlando, and visitor FAQ’s on the special webpage, VisitOrlando.com/Open.
