Visit Orlando Launches Eight New Websites

June 12, 2024

Visit Orlando, Greater Orlando’s Official Tourism Association, launched a suite of enhanced websites to promote the Orlando region to all audiences—meeting planners, meeting attendees, travel professionals and domestic/international leisure visitors.

After extensive research to uncover the needs of Visit Orlando’s various audiences VisitOrlando.com, OrlandoMeeting.com, VisitOrlando.org, MagicalDining.com and Spanish, Portuguese, French Canadian and German websites are now live.

“These new platforms are more than just websites, they serve as gateways to our destination for all of our unique audiences around the world,” said Casandra Matej, president & CEO, Visit Orlando in a media announcement. “As one of the first opportunities visitors have to connect with our destination and make decisions about how they spend their time and resources, it is critical we make the experience as helpful and meaningful as possible.”

Eye-Catching Enhancements

The redesign of Visit Orlando’s website began more than 18 months ago when the organization engaged Orlando-based research firm C3R to conduct extensive user testing. Following the results, Visit Orlando partnered with another Orlando-based company, Purple Rock Scissors, to transform the design of the websites implementing the latest best practices with research from the user testing.

Enhancements include:

Easier navigation and more interaction, homing in on Visit Orlando’s Unbelievably Real brand.
Better performance with shorter load times.
Greater accessibility built into the design, making it easier for users with visual or hearing impairments.
Multilingual support with more content for Spanish, Portuguese, French Canadian and German audiences.
Dedicated neighborhood pages with improved navigation and interactive maps.
