When it comes to holiday spirit, Kissimmee has it in spades. The destination’s sunny weather, convenient flights and, of course, its close proximity to Orlando’s theme parks were all highlighted as top reasons for Canadians to visit this holiday season.

Plus, with accommodations typically priced lower than those in downtown Orlando, and several attractions like Seaworld offering special holiday events and décor, there’s no better time than the holidays to book a family vacation to Kissimmee.

 

 

From June 2017 - June 2018, Kissimmee had:

• One million visitiors • 16.77% increase overall • 16.9% were Canadian

 

Winter visitation will likely get a boost from Swoop’s new 3x weekly Hamilton - Orlando service, which started October 17, 2018 as well as Flair Airlines’ new flights out of Edmonton and Winnipeg starting December, 2018.

Air Canada is increasing its Orlando service out of Toronto to 6 times per day. Snowbirds, which continue to be a growing market for Kissimmee, are sure to take advantage of the increased airlift, not to mention the 22,000 vacation homes in the area.

 

 

As the ‘Vacation Home Capital of the World’, over 50% of the destination’s monthly stats are booked at these rental homes, which are commissionable to agents and range from two-bedroom villas to 17-bedroom sprawling properties with bowling alleys and lazy rivers.

Kissimmee is located just a stone’s throw from Disney’s theme parks, and 35 minutes from Legoland. Among its many new attractions is a Margaritaville resort opening in 2019.
