Back in June 2009, we made the case that social media needed more creative attention relating to Orlando Tourism Promotion due to the flagging economy. The Orlando Convention and Visitors Bureau has now come around to the power of social media. The Bureau released a new social blogging strategy to promote all that Orlando travel and tourism have to offer. This will hopefully create some much-needed buzz in markets across the globe to encourage taking an Orlando based vacation.

Stacey Doornbos and Kyle Post (appropriately named for a blogger) from New York were selected as the new “Orlando Makes Me Smile” Tourism Campaign Ambassadors. They will blog about over 100 attractions the area has to offer. As stated earlier, this will include both the smaller yet high-quality attractions along with news from the bigger more well-known venues.

As active followers of social media, we applaud the actions of the OOCVB. Social media is a great way to create a crafted message to boost tourism and inform potential consumers.

Our mission mirrors this same goal along with promoting the advantages of Orlando vacation rentals. We believe there is power in vacation home brands based upon years of positive experiences at these resort communities. We review and profile over 80+ vacation home subdivisions, many located just minutes from area theme parks. Orlando villa reviews give you additional detail and insight for most communities in the area. You typically get all the amenities of home and then some including pools and common area amenities by booking in vacation villa subdivisions. Vacation rentals for many tourists visiting Orlando are now truly preferred over cramped hotels.
