Greater Orlando: Orlando

It goes without saying that the Greater Orlando area is the travel & tourism capital of the United States. Because of this, non-residents can find living in Orlando hard to imagine: What must it be like, having the Magic Kingdom at your back door? In fact, it is exactly these tourism roots that render life in Greater Orlando so much more interesting than mere theme parks. And in turn, visitors have more choices within Central Florida than ever before. The recipe goes as follows:

Because of its hospitality-driven economy, the overall culture of metro Orlando is infused with some of the most innovative, easygoing, and service-driven business-owners, students, and everyday folk that you'll ever meet. Layer in an abundance of shopping, natural and sports activities, as well as Orlando's natural ties to the entertainment industry thanks to Disney, Universal Studios, and schools such as University of Central Florida and Full Sail, and you've got an area often known as "mini Los Angeles" in all the right ways.

A creative climate, an active and outdoors citizenry committed to eco-friendly communities, and best-in-class hospitality and technological innovations all make Greater Orlando a fascinating place to work, live….and of course visit. © NileGuide
