“The notion of connection is one of the biggest reasons why ECHO is important”, says Writer and Director Mukhtar Omar Sharif Mukhtar of the new Cirque du Soleil production currently performing in Toronto, perhaps that is why DT Minich, President/CEO at Experience Kissimmee and his team chose ECHO to conclude a busy week in Toronto meeting and connecting with associates, partners and media, before, finally, relaxing at a casual get together to gasp at a spectacular performance of ECHO.
But let’s look at Kissimmee, there are of course the theme parks conveniently close and easily accessible – a high five to Mickey, ‘Hello’ to the various species of penguins at SeaWorld – the Rockhoppers with their Spikey hairdos are my faves, and of course a visit to Hogwarts and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – and that’s just for starters. If you’re up for it there are a gazillion rides – each wilder than the next.
However, the most amazing thing to me are the home rentals. Kissimmee boasts it is the “Vacation Home Capital of the World” and I don’t see how anyone could argue with that. There are over 50,000 accommodation options, including over 30,000 vacation home rentals, some ‘mansions’ offering up to 15 bedrooms. These beyond ultra-de-luxe properties offer everything you could possibly imagine – and more – from double gourmet kitchens, themed rooms (kids of all ages love these) movie theatres, bowling alleys and of course the obligatory swimming pool.
But it’s not all upscale and over the top, there’s lots of excellent choices for those connected to more modest budgets.
And it’s not just Canadians heading South, Minich says his team is also working hard to attract visitors from overseas. Europe has discovered Kissimmee, and Emirates flights will certainly help lure in visitors from India, “that’s a big market for us,” says Minich.
So folks, next trip, especially if you’re taking the family, or your golf buddies, or your ‘childless cat ladies group’ or even if it’s just you and your loved one – make sure you take a close look at Kissimmee – and connect!
