Wednesday, October 4, 2023

The frontrunners of Orange County talked regarding how to spend millions in tourism tax.

Five main schemes were presented at the assembly, comprising growth or developments to:

 Orange County Convention Center
 Florida Citrus Sports
 UCF Sports
 Amway Center
 Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts

Mark Tester, the Executive Director of the Orange County Convention Center said that the proceedings at
he facility are going fine. However, he further said that things could be improved much.

Tester said that the conventions that they are organizing have all returned and they are finding
worth. He added that more space is desirable. He regretted the fact that they have lost hundreds of
occasions over the years that they have failed to attempt for the reason that they just would not be
adequate in the north or south building.

Tester said that the tourism cash would be a big improvement for the convention center.
