Orlando, Business Travel Central

Aside from being a top tourist destination, Orlando is also a major destination for business travelers and convention attendees. Orlando is home to the 2nd largest convention center in America; the Orange County Convention Center located on International Drive. This massive complex draws in millions in business and convention travelers annually. In addition, Orlando is also home to major companies including SIEMENS, Lockheed Martin, AAA, AirTran, and Darden Restaurants. It is also home to the new Burnham Institute for Medical Research.

Downtown Orlando is also booming with commerce and business activity. Orlando has seen a recent arrival of bio-tech industries that could bring a new era to Orlando's business stature.
