Orlando, of Orange County is one of the top vacation destinations in the entire world. Famous for its host of tourist attractions, especially Walt Disney World Resort (actually located in Lake Buena Vista) which opened in 1971, the centerpiece for Orlando's economy is tourism. Walt Disney had considered other coastal locations for his park but decided on Orlando because of its more central location, believing it would be less threatened by hurricanes. Other wildly popular theme parks are Sea World and Universal Orlando Resort. 52 million tourists visit the area per year and next to Las Vegas, Orlando has the most hotel rooms in the country. Contributing to this statistic are the many business conventions and conferences it hosts, the Orange County Convention Center being the second largest center in the US. Also responsible for the city's popularity and growth is the presence of the Orlando Regional Airport (MCO), the busiest airport with regard to passenger traffic in Florida. The NBA team, Orlando Magic finds home in this subtropical climate.
