  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize Visit 
Orlando, the official tourism organization for the Orlando area, on its 
30 years of service to our community.
  Visit Orlando stands alongside Orange County and its member 
organizations to represent the Central Florida Hospitality Community 
and our area's leading industry, which is responsible for an economic 
impact of more than $54 billion annually. Since July 1984, Visit 
Orlando has worked with local organizations and assisted greatly in the 
marketing and advertising endeavors of its member organizations.
  Serving as the largest tourism organization in the world, Visit 
Orlando focuses on maintaining the health of our tourism environment by 
globally marketing the area as a premier leisure, convention and 
business destination. Their partnership with Orange County and member 
companies has played a prominent role in making Orlando a great place 
to visit and to live.
  It is a privilege to recognize Visit Orlando, and I would like to 
take the opportunity to thank this organization for its commitment to 
Central Florida and our hospitality industry.
