Find the familiar and the unexpected in FLORIDA
For a trip that’s rich in iconic attractions and hidden surprises, inspire clients to experience all of Florida’s wonders
F
lorida invites visitors to pair its classics with fresh adventures – where thrill-seekers
can dive into Disney magic, then stroll through pine forests and towns enshrouded in history. To explore both the icons and new discoveries, encourage clients to linger longer in this remarkably diverse state.
FAMILIAR ADVENTURES Nowhere does theme parks quite like Florida. New this year, customise your spacecraft then ride the Galacticoaster at Legoland Florida Resort, the park’s first indoor rollercoaster, or sink into the secrets of animated films at Hollywood Studios, a new immersive experience with drawing classes and character encounters. For something a little wilder, Everglades
National Park is best explored via airboat tours, kayaking or hiking trails through mangroves and sawgrass marshes teeming with alligators and crocodiles. Crystal-clear springs in central and north Florida, such as Three Sisters Springs and Wakulla Springs, are perfect for swimming, snorkelling or spotting gentle manatees up close. Miami is well known for its open-air art scenes, best explored among the murals at Wynwood Walls and the pastel-coloured Art Deco District.
STATE OF SURPRISES Florida has the capacity to astonish clients more than they might expect. They can wander the cobblestone streets and visit 17th-century Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine or head to Winter
Park and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, where visitors can explore the origins of America’s art nouveau movement through Louis Comfort Tiffany’s exquisite glasswork. In St. Petersburg, the Salvador Dalí Museum has the largest permanent display of the surrealist artist’s work outside Spain. If you have equine lovers among your clients, suggest a canter along Ocala National Forest’s sandy horse trails, where sprawling prairies morph into dense sand pine woodlands.
