Book a Florida holiday and have a 'love affair' with the Sunshine State

British holiday travellers have a long-standing love affair with Florida holidays, according to the president and chief executive of Visit Florida.

Christopher Thompson said UK families feel comfortable in Florida and there is plenty for them to do and see.

Even during the recession, British holiday makers have seen the Sunshine State as an attractive and reliable place to visit for some family fun.

Looking ahead to next year, there will be even more to entice Brits to Florida, he claimed.

For example, the new Harry Potter area will be opening at Universal Studios, in addition to several exciting property developments.

"There is never a lack of expansion of the product and all the mainstays are there so we will definitely catch the attention of the Brits," Mr Thompson remarked.

Figures from Visit Florida show that 18.5 million people visited the US state between July and September this year.

Those renting Florida villas in Orlando will be in prime position to enjoy all of the major attractions, including Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World.

Calabay Parc at Tower Lakes may be an excellent choice of location for those hoping to fit in as many theme park visits as possible.
