With sunny and warm weather year-round, and located just minutes away from world-famous theme parks and incredible outdoor adventures, Kissimmee in Florida is called the 'Vacation Home Capital of the World' with more than 50,000 vacation homes to choose from. These vacation homes are located in gated communities that have an array of unique amenities like golf courses, restaurants, water parks, and more.

No Indian traveller's vacation to the United States of America is complete, without a visit to its world-famous mega Parks and themed attractions, and just adjacent to Kissimmee, is where all the action is. India is a major emerging market for Experience Kissimmee. Yinglu elaborates, "We saw the immense potential and opportunity that India presented, and way back in 2017 decided that we needed a physical presence here in India. So, we have Seldon Tenzing, Account Director for Experience Kissimmee, who is our point of contact based in New Delhi. Her key agenda is to spread awareness about the brand Kissimmee, meet and interact with all industry stakeholders and train them, imparting product knowledge, helping them create new itineraries and connect them with the DMCs in the USA."
